Swimming involves using one’s body to move through water or other fluid media. It serves various purposes, such as physical fitness, recreation, rehabilitation, and competitive sport. Swimming contributes significantly to cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, coordination, and flexibility.

The present research aimed to study the impact of swimming training regimen on muscular flexibility among short-distance athletic players. Young athletes aged 18–20 years from Shree Hanuman Vyayam Prasarak Mandal’s Athletic Centre, Amravati, were selected as participants. A simple random group design, including a pre-test and post-test, was used. The control group continued regular activities, while the experimental group underwent a swimming training program for 60 minutes per day, six days per week, for 90 days.

Statistical analysis revealed a significant difference between control and experimental groups in the post-test results. The findings indicate that the swimming training program significantly improved muscular flexibility in short-distance athletes.
