This article focuses on the training arrangement of swimming athletes before the competition, using literature review as the main research method. Official websites such as China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Google Scholar were utilized to search for relevant literature using keywords such as “swimming taper training”, “swimming training reduction” and “swimming pre-competition reduction training”. The translated and organized literature serves as the theoretical basis for writing. By extensively reviewing existing domestic and international research literature, the scientific training arrangement for swimming athletes before the competition was analyzed. The systematic literature analysis method was applied to gain valuable insights into the scientific taper training patterns for swimming athletes. Additionally, the author provides their own perspectives on the post-taper training for swimming athletes.
