The achievement in competitive swimming events holds paramount importance within the realm of participating in Olympic tournaments and individual sports events, where the opportunity to earn the highest number of medals exists. The significance of this research lies in understanding the effect of using innovative methods such as drag ropes and reverse water pumps as supplementary training tools to enhance the maximum speed of short distance (50m) freestyle swimmers in the age group of 15 to 17 years The research objectives encompass investigating the impact of training with drag ropes on developing maximum speed (achievement level) for the 50m freestyle swim among individuals aged 17 to 15 years. Additionally, the study aims to assess the effect of training with reverse water pumps on enhancing maximum speed (achievement level) for the 50m freestyle swim within the same age group. Moreover, the research seeks to determine which of the two training methods produces superior results in advancing the maximum speed for short distance (50m) freestyle swimming among the 17 to 15-year-old age group The research sample was drawn from swimmers at the National Center for Sporting Talent Development, aged 15 to 17 years, using purposive sampling. The sample consisted of 15 freestyle swimmers, representing 65.21% of the total population of 23 swimmers. The results revealed noticeable variations in performance times for 25m and 50m freestyle swimming among the three groups. The experimental group exhibited superior performance compared to the other two groups (second experiment and control) in 25m and 50m freestyle swimming. The observed variations were most significant between the experimental group and the control group. This outcome is attributed to the impact of the training tool (assisting water pumps) employed to enhance performance in the experimental group. Furthermore, training with speed-enhancing tools (reverse water pumps and drag ropes) or similar methods proved to be more effective than other resistance training methods in developing maximum speed in short distance (50m) freestyle swimming events.
