Synopsis

The intracycle velocity of the body’s common centre of gravity of swimmers in a real competitive and training exercise is known [2,5–7] to change according to the quasi-periodic law regardless swimming technique. It promotes taking some conditions of the mathematical apparatus of oscillation theory to assess the energy efficiency of swimming technique in real motions [3]. The energy efficiency of different swimming styles was estimated using the experiment.
