In the article are analyzed methods of testing the strength qualities of swimmers of high qualification. There are system analysis of advanced scientific literature in the field of testing physical qualities of swimmers, and more detailed - testing the strength of swimmers. In sports practice make control and testing of the level of development of maximum strength, speed and strength endurance. Strengths are evaluated in the dynamic and static mode of the muscles, in specific and non-specific tests, using
measuring equipment and without it. The results of testing the strength of swimmers of high class have shown that the main task of power training is to achieve high strength and power performance in the performance of the basic motor actions that are characteristic for swimming: start, turn, cyclic work, namely, increase the swimmers ability to realize the available power potential in the process of swimming. During the research it was established that swimmers of high qualification can keep a high speed of swimming for a longer time, or, at a longer distance than swimmers less qualified. In this case, the greatest difference in the speed of swimming is noted between the athletes of the 1st category and Candidates in the Master of Sport, also between the swimmers of the 1st and 2nd categories. The biggest difference in the retention time of the maximum speed is noted between the Masters of Sports and Candidates in the Master of Sports. Differences in the duration of the distance, on which the athletes keep the maximum speed of swimming among the Candidates in the Master of Sport and swimmers of the I and II categories mainly depend on the difference in the absolute speed of navigation, while between the Masters of Sport and other athletes - from the increase in the time of its retention. Also, it is established that to monitor the strength training of swimmers, it makes sense to use indicators of maximum traction registered at the execution of imitation of strokes and back movements of hands and feet, with the exception of indicators of traction of legs at the stage of sports improvement.
