This study aimed to examine the relationship between jogging habits and freestyle (crawl) swimming speed, as freestyle speed is a key indicator of swimming performance influenced by both technical mastery and physical conditioning. Jogging is a commonly practiced aerobic exercise that has the potential to enhance cardiorespiratory endurance, lower limb muscular endurance, and overall energy efficiency, which theoretically may support swimming performance. However, empirical evidence regarding the relationship between habitual jogging and freestyle swimming speed remains limited and inconclusive. This study employed a quantitative method with a correlational approach. The population consisted of students at a State University of Education in Indonesia, with a sample of 169 students selected based on predetermined inclusion criteria. Jogging habits were measured using a questionnaire adapted from the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), while freestyle swimming speed was assessed using a 25-meter freestyle swimming test recorded in seconds. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 25. After normality testing indicated non-normal data distribution, the Spearman’s rank correlation test was applied to examine the relationship between variables. The results revealed a significant relationship between jogging habits and freestyle swimming speed (r = –0.316; p < 0.01). The negative correlation indicates that higher levels of jogging habits were not consistently associated with faster swimming speed. This finding suggests that while jogging contributes to general physical fitness, excessive reliance on jogging without adequate swimming-specific training may not optimally support freestyle swimming performance. In conclusion, jogging habits are significantly related to freestyle swimming speed but are not a dominant determinant of performance. Jogging should therefore be positioned as a supplementary or cross-training activity, integrated with technical and sport-specific swimming training. This study contributes empirical evidence to sports science literature and provides practical insight for athletes, coaches, and educators in designing balanced and evidence-based training programs.
