The aim of this seminar is to highlight the importance and application of functional and motor skills in swimming. Since swimming is an activity in which the whole body participates, the connection between the musculoskeletal and cardiovascular systems is necessary and well trained with one another, and its application and connection is mentioned and explained in the beginning, or introductory elaboration. The concept of swimming is also explained, disciplines and styles are stated, and the form of motor and functional abilities is described as the most important item in the training processes with planning and programming. I will describe the anaerobic and anaerobic abilities in the first part of the seminar, the part that describes functional abilities. Maximum oxygen uptake was mentioned as one of the most important factors in assessing functional ability. In the second part of this final paper, I outlined and proved the importance and impact of motor skills in swimming, which, as a totally different sport than sports on the field or with props, is in the water. I focused on coordination, speed, power and flexibility as a centered motor skills in swimming because they train a lot more and have a greater impact on superior performance than other motor skills (balance, precision ...).
