This study aims to determine the relationship between shoulder flexibility and swimming speed in adolescent novice swimmers in Club Renang Takahide, Badung Regency, Bali.  The research design used was cross sectional and a sample of 10 people was obtained. In this study, there was a free variable, namely shoulder flexibility and the bound variable, namely swimming speed. Data collection for shoulder flexibility was measured using a shoulder elevation test, while swimming speed was measured with a digital stopwatch.  Based onthe calculation results using the Pearson Product Moment correlation test with a value of 0.001 and a very strong correlation of -0. 875. This suggests the presence of a very strong correlation in a significant negative direction between shoulder flexibility and swimming speed in teenage novice swimmers.
