This paper represents a study regarding the use of motor games in teaching the technical swimming procedures. When using the games, we noticed the students were more willing, more motivated and learned to swim faster. If the teacher knows how to choose the most effective games, to be used for the topics of his lessons, he can use them throughout the classes giving students satisfaction, a well-being state, thus fighting against boredom or the lack of interest.  To sum up, we found that motor games, if used appropriately and at the right time, can contribute effectively to a faster learning of the procedures.
