Special vocational physical training is a subsystem of physical education that best provides for the formation and improvement of properties and qualities that are essential for a particular professional activity. Modern special vocational physical education service offered by the national medical universities is designed to build up the job-specific physical qualities and skills for success of the health service. It is highly important to apply the most relevant and efficient training tools to meet the physical fitness requirements to the future health specialist. Having analyzed the job responsibilities, missions and environments in the national health sector, we have developed a new special vocational physical education model to build up the key physical and mental qualities in the future medical officers by swimming practices viewed as the unique tools of multiple positive health effects.
The new special vocational physical education model testing experiment was run at the First Pavlov State Medical University of St. Petersburg swimming pool in the period of October 1, 2017 to April 15, 2018. The experiment was intended to test benefits of the new model by an analysis of the pre- versus post-experimental health and physicality test rates of the female students.
The model was tested beneficial as verified by the trainees’ progress in the working capacity, strength, endurance and functionality tests. In addition, the special swimming practices were found highly beneficial for the mental and emotional wellbeing of the trainees.

Keywords: medical university students, swimming, physical fitness, functional fitness, mental/ emotional wellbeing.
