The research methods and techniques used, at the theoretical level, were analytical-synthetic and structural-functional systemic, valid during the study of the theoretical foundation and the design of the proposal; empirical methods, structured observation, survey and documentary review in obtaining data that served as a reference for the research. As a technique, convergent triangulation provided the conclusive analysis of the data obtained by various sources. The water activities strategy includes floating, propulsion, breathing, and coordination exercises. By constituting a comprehensive proposal, it becomes a multifunctional result for the teaching-learning process, and the development of capacities and acceptance of diversity.
