Abstract


The legs are lifted, resulting in weak leg strokes or leg thrusts in freestyle swimming. This study aims to determine how much influence the fins aids have on increasing the freestyle swimming speed of early childhood athletes at the Alpa Swimming Club, Ciamis Regency. Therefore, athletes are unable to maintain their speed or are inconsistent when performing freestyle swimming leg movements. This study uses an experimental method with a one group pretest-posttest design. The test results show that there is an influence of training usingfinson the speed of 50-meter freestyle swimming to athletes of Alpa Swimming Club, Ciamis Regency. Hypothesis testing shows that the t-value is 5.45> t-table 1.81, so it shows that H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted, which means that there is a significant effect on increasing the speed of 50-meter freestyle swimming after being treated using fins.
