Abstract

The measurement of power in swimming has previously been carried out using a number of different methods. Each method appears to produce differing wattages, the majority of which are far below those seen in athletes of a similar level in other sports. The aim of this paper was to define what is being measured, what it relates to, and to give appropriate titles to the “types of power” recorded.
