Abstract
Objective: The aim of the study was to analyze the amateur's performance of crawl swimming in different types of respiratory standards. The sample was composed of 32 swimmers of both sexes (37.12 ± 12.51 years). They were filmed at 25 meters of crawl swimming at maximum speed. There were no significant differences in the duration of the test and speed between respiratory standards. However, the stroke cycle of the R2 and R3 standards presented better results (p < 0.05). The Body Mass Index increased the time necessary for the completion of the test (b = 0.39). In conclusion, the R2 standard was more effective for amateurs.
