The aim of this study was to explain the role of anthropometric, physiological and technical parameters controlled by chronological age and maturity status in performance of young female swimmers (n=42; 13.3±0.57 years-old) in short (100 meters), middle (200 meters) and long distance events (800 meters). Hierarchical multiple regression analysis (stepwise method) was used to examine the variance of all races. Anaerobic power and critical speed explained 92% (p<0.05), 84% (p<0.05) and 99 % (p<0.05) of the variance in the average speed of, respectively, 100 meters, 200 meters and 800 meters front crawl. In spite of stroke parameters were not included in explanatory models, swimming index showed very high correlations with 100 m (r=0.85, p<0.01), 200 m (r=0.69, p<0.01) and 800 m (r=0.72, p<0.01). Performance of young female swimmers in short, middle and long distance races is explained predominantly by physiological components and in minor degree by technical efficiency.
