The findings indicate that swimming lessons have a marked effect in reducing students’ anxiety levels and enhancing their mental well-being. The incorporation of ideological and political education, including “red stories” (narratives related to the history and ideology of the Communist Party of China), team competitions, and situational learning, into the curriculum has been observed to enhance students’ patriotism, sense of social responsibility, and teamwork spirit. The study demonstrates the efficacy of integrating swimming courses with ideological and political education, providing theoretical and empirical support for the integration of physical education courses with ideological and political education in universities.
