Assessing Togetherness From Within

First, using the swimmers’ self-assessments about their feeling of being and acting together, each collective unit of behavioral activity was characterized through a team score of being and acting together from the swimmers’ point of view. For instance, collective unit 2 was characterized by a team score of 54 (see Table 1). Thus, by calculating the score of being and acting together from the swimmers’ perspective for each collective unit of activity, the dynamics of this feeling during choreography-performance and the 33 collective units of activity was assessed.
