Abstract: The study aim was establishing relationships between somatic build and kinematic indices describing underwater undulatory swimming (UUS). In a group of 47 young male swimmers (age = 17.2 ± 1.01, FINA points per 100 freestyle = 553 ± 94), anthropometric measurements were conducted. UUS was recorded through an underwater window. Movement modelling and its kinematic analysis were conducted using the SkillSpector. Velocity (vCOM), frequency (f), movement amplitude (A), distance per cycle (DPC) and product (IAf) were determined. Anthropometric variable reduction was performed using principal component analysis (PCA). Then, a correlation matrix was created containing distinguished components and kinematic variables (p
