The Department of Business Economics<\/strong> successfully conducted a Swimming Session<\/strong> for third-year undergraduates under the course BEC 3180: Personal and Professional Development<\/strong> on 15 July 2026<\/strong> at the University Swimming Pool Complex<\/strong>, University of Sri Jayewardenepura.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The session was conducted by Mr. Pasindu Mihiran<\/strong>, Instructor in Physical Education, and Mr. Nadee Ginige<\/strong>, Instructor in Physical Education. Under their professional guidance, students were introduced to essential swimming techniques, water-safety practices, breathing methods, body coordination, and the importance of maintaining confidence and discipline in an aquatic environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The practical activities provided students with an opportunity to develop physical fitness, endurance, concentration, self-confidence, and the ability to overcome fear and personal limitations. The instructors ensured that the activities were conducted in a safe, supportive, and encouraging learning environment, enabling both experienced swimmers and beginners to participate meaningfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The session also highlighted the importance of swimming as a valuable life skill and as an effective recreational activity for managing stress and maintaining physical and mental well-being. Students who were unable to participate directly in the swimming activities were given the opportunity to observe the session and learn about water safety and basic swimming practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This activity formed an important component of BEC 3180: Personal and Professional Development<\/strong>, which aims to support the holistic development of students by integrating academic learning with physical well-being, teamwork, discipline, resilience, and personal growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Department of Business Economics sincerely appreciates Mr. Pasindu Mihiran<\/strong> and Mr. Nadee Ginige<\/strong> for their expert instruction, dedication, and valuable contribution towards the successful completion of the session. The Department also acknowledges the support extended by the Physical Education Unit<\/strong> of the University of Sri Jayewardenepura in facilitating this valuable learning experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
