Peer-Mentoring and Motivational Regulation in Colombian Youth Swimmers
Motivational Regulation Following a 16-Session Peer-Mentoring Programme in Colombian Youth Swimmers: A Pre-Post Pilot Study
This completed study examined whether young competitive swimmers' reasons for participating in sport changed after a peer-mentoring programme. It was expected that intrinsic motivation and personally valued reasons for participating would increase after the programme.
Twenty-nine Colombian swimmers aged 10-14 years participated. All swimmers received the same programme; there was no comparison group. The programme comprised 16 face-to-face group sessions delivered twice weekly over eight consecutive weeks. Each session lasted approximately 20-25 minutes and was led by an experienced swimmer acting as a peer mentor. Activities addressed communication, sport experiences, goal setting, reflection on competition, personal development and future planning.
Participants completed the Sport Motivation Scale (SMS-28) before the first session and immediately after the sixteenth and final session. The questionnaire assessed seven forms of motivation: intrinsic motivation to know, intrinsic motivation to accomplish, intrinsic motivation to experience stimulation, identified regulation, introjected regulation, external regulation and amotivation. Changes in each form of motivation were examined separately.
The study was registered retrospectively after participant enrolment, data collection and analysis had been completed. Registration was undertaken for research transparency and should not be interpreted as prospective registration or preregistration.

This single-group study examined whether young competitive swimmers' reasons for participating in sport changed after completing a peer-mentoring programme integrated into their regular swimming training. It was expected that intrinsic motivation and identified regulation would increase following the programme.

Each session lasted approximately 20-25 minutes and was led by an experienced swimmer acting as a peer mentor. The activities addressed communication, sport experiences, goal setting, reflection on competition, personal development, future goals and career planning.

The questionnaire assessed seven forms of motivation: intrinsic motivation to know, intrinsic motivation to accomplish, intrinsic motivation to experience stimulation, identified regulation, introjected regulation, external regulation and amotivation. Changes from before to after the programme were examined separately for each form of motivation.

Experimental: Peer-Mentoring Programme
Participants received sixteen group peer-mentoring sessions of approximately 20-25 minutes, each one, integrated into regular swimming training.
|
Sixteen face-to-face group peer-mentoring sessions of approximately 20-25 minutes each were integrated into regular swimming training and delivered twice weekly over eight consecutive weeks.
Across the eight weeks, activities included guided dialogue, practical exercises, mentor narratives, feedback and group reflection.
The themes addressed programme introduction, effective communication, sport stories, SMART goal setting, reflection on competition experiences, a "pool of life" reflective activity, a future-self interview, and a career timeline and programme closure.
An experienced swimmer acted as the peer mentor.
The baseline SMS-28 assessment was administered before the first session, and the immediate post-intervention assessment was administered after completion of the sixteenth and final session.
