The article discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the modern system of training freestyle sprinters. The author analyzes the pros and cons, as well as the features of the Soviet ("brigade") method of training. The article provides a retrospective analysis of the results of athletes who won Olympic medals in individual disciplines for the period 1988-2020. Statistical calculation allowed us to establish that despite the decrease in mass participation in swimming and a decrease in the reserves of the Russian national team, the stability of Olympic awards is determined, which is associated with the individualization of the modern training system.
