Negative thoughts scale was developed and applied before and after the study. In order to test the hypotheses of the study, means and standard deviations, independent samples t-test, paired samples t-test and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) were utilized. The statistical analysis indicated that there was significant difference at (p < 0.05) in the negative thoughts between experiment and control group in post measures and there was significant differences between the post measure and the fellow up measure for the experimental group. The study ended by some recommendations such as conducting more studies to examine the ability of cognitive approach that used in current study to resolve various individual problems especially those related to cognitive knowledge or thinking.

Twenty four female students from physical education faculty at the university of Jordan (19 ± 0.5) years of age, who were assigned in swimming course (2) in the first semester 2014/2015. After completing the self-esteem Questionnaire (Robson Self-Esteem Questionnaire, 1989) the subjects were randomly divided into two groups: experimental group (n=12) received physical practice of the breaststroke swimming skill performance, and dialogues for self-esteem development, and control group (n=12) received only physical practice of the breaststroke swimming skill performance. Two measurements were taken; both groups were measured at the beginning (pre-test), in order to establish that all students started at the same level of performance and global self-esteem level, after the pre-test of the breaststroke skills performance, all subjects filled out the self-esteem questionnaire. After the completion of the intervention the final measurements were taken (post-test), to note the impact of the intervention on the student`s performance in breaststroke swimming skills and selfesteem improvement. Statistical analysis included t-Test for mean at pre and post test for the two groups and t-Test for mean at post test in the two groups. The results showed significant differences (p < 0.05) in post test between the two groups in favor of the experimental group. In conclusions learning new swimming skills performance engaged to dialogues for self-esteem development enhanced learning and improved skills performance of the breaststroke swimming.
