The purpose of this research was to investigate why swimming teachers, when planning their teaching, choose one methodology over another; analysing the reasons why a high percentage of them do not apply the teaching methodologies they study during their training as physical education graduates. The objective was to analyse the impact of experience, training and institutional guidelines on the choice of methodology applied by swimming teachers. We opted for a qualitative-quantitative research, linking the qualitative method in data collection with the quantitative method in data analysis. A transversal, non-experimental field design was used, opting for an intensive sample, which was composed of 50 graduates who work as teachers in two sports institutions in the field of non-formal education in Montevideo. As an instrument, a semi-structured interview was applied through a questionnaire, comparing the answers obtained with the data that emerged in the exploratory study carried out for this research. From an interpretative perspective, we sought to describe and explain the phenomenon. It was possible to conclude that the teachers who were part of the sample prioritise the use of reproductive methodologies over production methodologies, leaving aside the participatory methodologies studied in the training institutes and recommended by their employers. It was also found that the methodologies used by these teachers reproduce the traditional models with which they learned the sport.
