abstract
One of the main goals of swimming research
is to identify the scientific domains and/or
variables that predict swimming performance
in children (i.e., young athletes) in
the perspective of detecting future talents
(1). Nevertheless, research in young athletes
should be less invasive, expensive and timeconsuming
than in adult/elite counterparts
(2). In this sense, several authors (2-4) on
regular basis estimate and/or measure variables
in different scientific domains (i.e., anthropometric,
hydrodynamic, kinematical
and energetic) that are easy to collect and
might predict performance and/or detect
talented swimmers.
