Abstract	There are a number of difficulties that an individual face during all stages of his life. In order to adapt to these difficulties and maintain a healthy self-perception, he needs some defense mechanisms. Research on psychological theory and existence focuses on negative factors. In the last 20 years, studies to further develop the positive characteristics of the individual in the field of psychology have come to the fore. The aim of this study is to examine the psychological well-being and happiness level of university students who do swimming and fitness. In this study, 113 university students were swimming in the Indoor Swimming Pool of Pamukkale University Sports Center in Denizli and exercising in the fitness center. Slimming will be made according to the gender and marital status of the individuals. To determine the psychological well-being and happiness levels of the participants (Keldali 2015), the "Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale", whose validity and reliability study was conducted, and the "Oxford Happiness Scale", the validity and reliability study of which was conducted by Dogan and Sapmaz (2012) used. Inventories were applied one-to-one to the participants and an inventory was made by explaining the questions. A significant difference was found between the psychological well-being levels of swimming and fitness men (p < 0.05). No significant difference was found between the happiness and well-being scores of the individuals who do swimming and fitness according to their marital status (p > 0.05). There was no significant difference between the happiness and well-being levels of individuals who do swimming and fitness (p < 0.05). Conclusions and recommendations, when we look at the literature on this subject, we see that different results emerge. Studies with more subjects are needed. (As Provided).
