The research aims to develop an educational program using competitive learning methods (self - comparative - collective) to identify its effect on learning the skills of the first star in the signature swimming and knowledge collection and comparison between the four research groups (self-competition - comparative competition - group competition - the traditional method) Learn the skills of the first star in the signature swimming and cognitive achievement The researcher used the experimental method, through the experimental design of four groups, including three experimental groups and a control group on the sample consisting of (100) female students from the fourth year specializing in water sports at the Faculty of Physical Education Girls Zagazig University. Conclusions: 1- The proposed educational program using competitive learning methods (self-competition, comparative competition and group competition) positively affects the learning of the skills of the first star in the signature swimming (under research) and cognitive achievement. 2 - the traditional program using verbal explanation and the performance of the practical model positively affect the learning of the skills of the first star in the signature swimming (under research) and cognitive achievement. 3- The third experimental group (group competition) outperformed the other three research groups (self-competition, comparative competition, traditional learning) in learning the skills of the first star in the signature swimming (under research) and cognitive achievement
