Autism spectrum disorder is a difference resulting from a disorder caused by socio-communicative deficiencies due to the interaction of genetic and environmental factors. This difference affects many areas, from social life to work life. Therefore, research continues to minimize the difficulties faced by individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in many areas and to ensure they derive satisfaction from their lives. ASD symptoms appear most prominently in the early years of life and include limited interests, repetitive behaviors, weaknesses in social communication skills, speech difficulties, and poor motor skills. Motor skills affect both social adjustment and quality of life. Therefore, supporting the motor behavior of individuals with autism is of great importance. Endurance, strength, and speed constitute the basic motor characteristics. Flexibility and dexterity are complementary motor characteristics. Individuals need physical requirements to improve their movement quality and movement health. At this point, swimming takes its place among special sports by working many muscle groups and influencing the individual's development.

Swimming also contributes to processes such as individual development, maturation, and adaptation. Anthropometric measurements are assessments based on specific points that determine a person's weight, body measurements, strength, and range of motion.
