This study aims to determine whether there are differences in student interest in swimming lessons based on students who go to school in the urban area and students who go to school in the rural at the vocational high school level. This research is a quantitative descriptive study that uses survey methods and data collection techniques using questionnaires (questionnaires). The study involved 68 students as respondents. Furthermore, the data obtained from filling out the questionnaire was analyzed using descriptive percentage analysis. The results showed that students' interest in swimming lessons who went to school in the urban areas, namely Senior High School 1 Cianjur, was higher, with a percentage: strongly disagree 0%, disagree 3%, agree 65%, and strongly agree 32%. This is because literacy and knowledge are good, and motor development is good because they regularly do swimming lessons in the pool. In contrast, students' interest in swimming lessons who go to rural schools, namely Senior High School 1 Campaka, is low, with percentages: strongly disagree 0%, disagree 47%, agree 44%, and strongly agree 9%. This is because their physical literacy knowledge is limited, and their motor development is also limited due to the limited facilities available. This difference shows that Senior High School students who attend schools in urban areas are more interested in swimming lessons than students who attend schools in rural areas.
