Abstract

The aim of this study was to establish possible relations between the results obtained by sports institutions in swimming and public investment involved in this process. Since there many factors needed for sporting success, the focus will be only on financial support. The methodology was through by desk research and quantitative analysis that’s was done to see how the allocation of resources invested by the Federal Government to the youth swimming in 2013, trying to establish relations with the performance of sports institutions in the Brazilian Youth Swimming Rankings. The results show that the institutions that had more results are also those who had more athletes awarded the “Bolsa-Atleta” allowance, while the allocation of funds obtained through the Sports Incentive Law does not show a clear relationship with the previous performance of institutions.
