Summary/Abstract: This paper presents the results of the diagnostic strength capabilities of the upper limbs synchronized swimmer competing in two age groups. The level of physical development considered by BMI standards of normal population reflects the requirements of sports in this aesthetic-coordination sport. We have used swimming ergometer (swimergo) to determine the level of strength and performance. Measurement results show a balanced level of strength parameters in the group. Statistically significant relationship between maximum strength and performance of right and left arms, and dominance is reflected in all members in right arm. Statistically significant differences in results between the groups pointed to tendencies of growth strength and performance during arms stroke of the older female pupils to juniors and seniors.
