Abstract

This study aimed to design, construct, and psychometry the Phobia two-factor questionnaire of swimming. The present study was correlational and the statistical population included people aged nine and over of both sexes. The initial questionnaire was prepared with 35 questions and four questions were omitted based on content validity criteria and question analysis. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis showed that the 31-item questionnaire has good and acceptable fitness indicators. The Cronbach's alpha value of the whole questionnaire was calculated to be 0.92. Therefore, swimming coaches and experts can use this native questionnaire as a suitable tool to measure people's Phobia of swimming.
