The research process of the Project was held at German Society, in Gávea, in a swimming lesson with the instructor Claudio Pessoa Goulart. The classes which we attended are directed to children in the age of 10 years old. The activities held there are turned to the swimming apprenticeship only, without aiming competitions and team constitutions. Some activities are the warming and training with and without small board of many modalities; crow, butterfly and back.
As from the set of words which composes Claudio Goulart vocabulary's, we recognized as purpose for the project: "the entertainment motor is: breath and to beat strongly the extended legs without forgetting the arms".
An example of activity which represented well the concept into that sentence was the dolphin training where requires higher coordination between breath and arm motions and legs. Based on the experiments held and organized by the intercessor, we identified his intention to develop something that improved the movement which directed the attention to the student only for the swimming.
Through the observation of the classes course and the conversations with Claudio we figured out the establishment of something that helped to direct the student movements in the swimming pool would be such interesting. This way we developed arrows that worked as "sub ray". So, we created a set of four numbered arrows with different colors, made with two E.V.A. plate ( a black one of 8mm covered by other one colored of 2 mm), with 20 pieces of lead inside of each one.
To help the object to sink, we did a spilled one reducing the contact surface.
For Marcelo the product formulation worked to show that we should not face the difficulties as problems but as opportunities of surpassing.
For Marcela the apprenticeship was turned mainly to the product adaptation to ourselves and to the ambient worked.
