Abstract :In the study, it was aimed to examine the state anxiety and trait anxiety levels of swimmers aged 11-12 according to various variables. The research was carried out in the general scanning model. The universe of the research consists of 321 swimmers who participated in the 11-12 age group regional competitions organized by the Turkish Swimming Federation. The sample consists of 217 (113 boys, 104 girls) swimmers participating in these competitions. The State and Trait Anxiety Scale (STAS), developed by Spielberg (1976) and adapted into Turkish by Öner and Le Compte (1983), was used as a scale. SPSS program was used in the analysis of the data. Since it was seen that the data fulfilled the parametric assumptions, t test, One-Way Anova test, Scheffe test and Pearson correlation coefficient were used in the analysis. According to the gender variable, it was determined that the state anxiety levels of male swimmers were higher than that of female swimmers. It was determined that there was no statistical difference in trait and state anxiety levels according to family monthly income and age variables. According to the swimming age variable, the trait anxiety levels of the athletes with a swimming age of 6 years and above were lower than the swimmers with a swimming age of 1 month-1 year and 4-5 years. It was determined that the trait anxiety levels of swimmers whose mothers and fathers graduated from primary education were higher than those who graduated from higher education. After all, It was revealed that the trait anxiety levels of the swimmers included in the study were higher than their state anxiety levels, and there was an inverse relationship between state and trait anxiety levels.
