This study aimed to investigate the impact of plyometric exercises on the development of leg kicks in freestyle swimming. The study sample consisted of 24 students from the Faculty of Sports Sciences at Mutah University (advanced swimmers). They were randomly divided into two equal groups, with the first group using traditional training methods, and the second group using plyometric exercises. To achieve the study's objectives, the researcher employed an experimental approach suitable for the study's nature. Statistical analysis was conducted using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The results of the study, when comparing the pre-test and post-test results of the control group, indicated that the traditional method had a positive effect on improving leg kicks in freestyle swimming. Similarly, when comparing the pre-test and post-test results of the experimental group, the experimental method showed a positive effect in enhancing leg kicks in freestyle swimming. Based on the study's findings, the researcher recommended raising awareness among coaches about the importance of using plyometric exercises due to their positive impact on improving leg kicks in freestyle swimming.
