The problem in this study originated from asthma complaints suffered by elementary school students in Nanggalo Lapai Subdistrict, Padang City, such as SD Negeri 06 and SD Negeri 18, Nanggalo Lapai Subdistrict, Padang City. This causes, students have limitations in physical activity, fatigue, lack of enthusiasm, less ideal posture (tend to be a bit thin), and have below average academic value. This study aims to determine the effect of swimming style and nutritional status on asthma complaints of elementary school students in Nanggalo Lapai Subdistrict, Padang City. This type of research is an experiment with factorial design by level 2 x 2. The population in this study were all students of SD Negeri 06 and 18 of Nanggalo Lapai District of Padang City who suffered from asthma complaints totaling 32 people. The sampling technique uses saturated sampling, so that all populations are sampled. The asthma complaint instrument uses peak flow meter and nutritional status using anthopometry. Data were analyzed with ANOVA 2 x 2, and Tukey's further test if there was an interaction between swimming style and nutritional status at the significance level α = 0.05. Hypothesis testing results show, (1) there is a difference in effect between breaststroke and freestyle swimming against asthma complaints (Qh = 3.05 > Qt = 3.00), (2) there is an interaction between breaststroke and freestyle swimming with nutritional status (Fh = 8.11 > Ft = 4.20), (3) there is a difference between the groups that are given breaststroke and freestyle swimming treatments seen from the ideal nutritional status of asthma complaints (Qh = 5.00 > Qt = 3,26), and (4) there is no difference between the groups that were given treatment of breaststroke and freestyle swimming seen from the nutritional status not ideal for asthma complaints (Qh = 0.69 < Qt = 3.26).
