Swimming education is the process of teaching non-swimmers and learning and improving swimming in different conditions in the pool or in the sea. The aim of this paper is to investigate and describe possible models of swimming education in tourist destinations. Each area in tourism, especially in sports, can offer different models of work in swimming education. Which of the models we will use depends on the number of participants, the program in which we want to participate, etc. Swimming education at tourist destinations is explained in this paper with work methods that fully enable the tourist to acquire basic swimming skills and perfect all ready known motor ( swimming) structures. Due to the large number of non-swimmers, drowning in the water is one of the most common causes of death for children up to 15 years of age, and at the same time causes an increase in mortality on an annual basis. During the summer, tourist destinations offer a huge number of activities that take place in and on the water medium, and a certain level of swimming is required, not only at the initial level but sometimes also at the high experiential level. In order for a tourist to be able to use the facilities offered within the scope of sports tourism, knowledge of swimming is necessary both for the prevention, i.e. coping in emergency situations, and for the use of swimming for the purpose of sports recreation and rehabilitation.
