The streamline is a basic position for competitive swimming starts and turns and has been used in many studies on resistive forces. However, there is a wide variety of theoretical interpretations in these studies, leading to diverse and questionable conclusions. The purpose of this study was to determine performance level differences in the streamline position using a meta-analysis. Faster swimmers had a significantly lower coefficient of drag (C-d) than slower swimmers, (M =. 57, z = 4.30, p < . 001, SE =. 13, 95 % CI =.32-.82) and, therefore, a more effective streamline position. The results support considering all the related variables in a study of passive drag and using the Cd to discriminate between performance levels in swimming.
