Abstract: 
The aim of the training process in swimming is to development those anthropological characteristics and abilities of which the result strongly depends on. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of certain basic motor abilities and specific motor skills on the results in 100m breaststroke, among young swimmers. The sample consisted of 30 swimmers aged from 9 to 12 years belonging to the category of young pioneers. Predictor set consisted of 8 variables for evaluation of basic and 6 for evaluation of specific motor skills. Criterion variable was the result of 100m breaststroke. Results of regression analysis showed that both whole sets of observed variables have significant correlation with the results in the 100m breaststroke. Observed individually no variable has statistically significant influence. The resulting data indicate that training process with the younger categories must create the optimum conditions for the development of motor abilities that may affect the efficiency of the breaststroke technique.
