The purpose of this study was to develop a Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI) web site for elementary school swimming class, and to clarify the effect of different CAI contents. BBS (Bulletin Board System, textual information) which the children could contribute their question freely and a multimedia contents (movie information) were made for the CAI web-contents. Three elementary schools (5^th-6^th grade) participated in this study. Questionnaire survey was conducted to analyze the effect of the CAI web site. Both contents received positive attitude from the children. Comparing the results between BBS and multimedia utilization, children answering “Useful to have new findings on swimming” was significantly higher than using multimedia contents (BBS: 19.2%, multimedia: 61.5% P<.01) and “affective” component was significantly higher than in BBS utilization from analyzing free written answer (BBS: 22.5%, multimedia: 3.0% P<.05). From the present study, it was concluded that by using BBS children can enjoy learning swimming with other pupil and multimedia contents can give more information for discovering how to swim.
