This research focuses on the relationship between participation degree on exercise needs of adult swimmers. To this end, our research efforts questioned adult swimmers with increasing length and frequency of participation evinced higher levels of exercise needs. The research targeted the current (2006) membership of an aquatic facility operating in the Busan Gwangyeok-shi region; 299 adult swimmers, both male and female, were selected as the participants of the study. This research utilized a exercise needs survey developed by Byung Gi Lee's team (1989), which identified six subareas of items. Four items on the survey dealt with stress levels, three items on daily activity levels, three items on personal care and hygiene, three items on romantic relations, three items on exhibitionist tendencies, and three items on self-fulfillment or a sense of accomplishment, for nineteen items total in the six subareas. The data was compiled and analyzed through a t-test and the ANOVA method. The results of this study are as follows: With regard to length and frequency of aquatic exercise, those who participated 1-2 times a week showed higher levels of exercise needs than those who participated 3-4 times per week. These two groups showed disparities in their stress levels and their desire for a feeling of accomplishment. Those who engaged in at least 30 minutes or more per session showed the greatest level of exercise needs. When grouped by the intensity or per-session length of aquatic exercise, disparities showed in levels of s stress management, commitment to personal care, desire for romantic relations, and daily level of activity. Those who had regularly engaged in swimming exercise for two or more years showed the strongest exercise needs. When grouped by length of aquatic exercise participation, disparities showed only in level of desire for romantic relations.
