In Today`s swimming sport, the follow up of the developments of physical and physiological performance is pretty much important in terms of the success during the competitions. The personal and the team data which can be followed during certain periods, gives the information about the seasonal and ongoing development of the team as well as the variations that are formed over the years. In addition to the technical follow-up, the swimmers that are followed both physically and physiologically are more motivated individually and more willing to increase the team success. This research is the first measurement out of four that are planned to follow the physical and physiological performances of the National Level Swimmers throughout the season. Totally 27 swimmers (age = 14.6 ± 0.4 year) participated to the study. The average age of the male swimmers who participate in this research is 14.7 ± 0.5 and the average age of the female swimmers is 14.5±0.3 years. Swimmer`s age, age of sport, height, weight, body fat weight, fat free weight, total body water, body mass index , basal metabolic rate , arm span, vertical jump, long jump, push-ups and sit-ups measurements have been made. The data has been analyzed through SPSS 21.0 Statistics with the help of T- Test (a statistical examination to measure the significance of the difference of two sets of data). When it is p 0.05, the difference between the averages has been found meaningful. The results are important for monitoring of young athletes in all sports in terms of public health.
