Objective of the study was to empirical identification and determination of predictors-deviations of the forecast of the implementation and formation of motor elements of the individual technique of performing high-speed turns (HT) by Paralympic swimmers.
Methods and structure of the study. Above-water and underwater video recordings of the main phases of the HT were carried out by highly qualified paraswimmers, and a semi-structured interview was conducted with coaches and paraswimmers of various sports and functional classes (s.-f. classes). 560 video recordings of the HT performance by members of the Russian Paralympic Swimming Team, implemented at the UTM in 2024, were analyzed.
Results and conclusions. The main motor predictors-deviations as determinants of the formation of individual movement technique when performing SP, predictive modeling of HT technique on a swimming distance in swimmers of various sports classes in sports for people with musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) and in paraswimmers in sports for the blind have been established.

Keywords: high-speed turn, predictors-deviations, Paralympic swimming, paraswimmer, sports for people with disabilities, sports for the blind.
