Abstract :Successful training in swimming is impossible without precise and correct control of a swimmers’ training process. The coach must have as much information as possible about the athlete’s fitness to obtain a comprehensive picture of the course of training and to optimally plan future activities. The results of performing a specific exercise depend on the state of function which is most vital for ensuring performance under certain conditions. The key precondition logically underpinning the informative nature of the tests is that the results of the test. Thus exercises which provoke immediate maximum deviations from training effects can provide the most objective pedagogical evaluation of various endurance components. The use of specially designed swimming test sets allows swimmers to learn the necessary control of their training process, helps determine strengths and weaknesses of their preparation and prepares them to accept operative corrections. The aim of the work is to optimize the management of swimmers’ training processes on the basis of special testing results. In order to determine their areas of need, two of Latvia’s best swimmers were tested with 6 specifics endurance test sets. Once determined, the swimmers’ were given different swimming sets to develop their areas of weakness. For all swimmers we have developed 6 areas of sets to either sustain or improve a swimmer’s endurance insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(endurance of anaerobic and aerobic ability);. Intensity for each set differs depending on whether the athlete is improving or sustaining these areas. Intensity within the sets for improvement of the areas ranges between 83-98% of maximum speed and to sustain the areas 80-96% of maximum speed depending on individual swimmer results from the test sets.
