<![CDATA[This study aims to determine the role and form of parental support in supporting the achievements of swimming athletes. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with data collection techniques through interviews with 25 parents of swimming athletes. Data analysis was carried out using triangulation techniques to obtain an in-depth description and ensure the validity of the information. The results of the study show that parents provide comprehensive support, both in the form of motivation, communication, guidance, and the provision of training facilities and infrastructure. In addition to material support, parents also provide emotional support such as praise, appreciation, and positive encouragement to maintain their children's enthusiasm for training and competing. This support influences the formation of discipline, self-confidence, and improved performance in children. Thus, active parental involvement is an important factor in creating a conducive training environment for the development of young swimming athletes.]]>
