Abstract Water-related disasters, such as flooding, have become increasingly common and pose a significant threat to human life. Drowning is a leading cause of death in the Philippines, and flooding is a frequent occurrence in Davao City. Swimming competence is essential for individuals to be confident in and out of the water, and it is critical to be prepared for water-related disasters to reduce the risk of drowning. This study aimed to assess the swimming competence and aquatic disaster preparedness of Bachelor of Physical Education (BPE) students in the University of Mindanao. The study used a quantitative research approach, descriptive correlational design and data were collected from 201 BPE students enrolled. Researchers employed a modified survey questionnaire for both dependent and independent variables using a quota sampling technique to determine the respondents' answers. The result showed that. respondents had high swimming competence and a high level of aquatic disaster preparedness, indicating satisfactory performance in these areas. Additionally, the study found a significant relationship between swimming competence and aquatic disaster preparedness. This research highlights the importance of swimming competence and aquatic disaster preparedness in reducing the risk of drowning and mitigating the impact of water-related disasters.
