Despite the importance, and the remarkable number of researches focusing on talent identification and development in sport, very few researches are directed to handle issues connected to the administrational side of this field. This research addresses the topic "quality in systems of talent identification and development in swimming" from an administrational point of view. In the first part of the research, the systems of talent identification and development in Germany and Australia are compared, particularly in respect to the swimming discipline. The comparison is made through a literature review and the scrutiny of the official documents, aiming to reveal and discuss the differences and the similarities of the systems in the two mentioned countries. The second part of the research has an exploratory theme. It is done through a survey of swimming clubs or swimming departments in sport clubs in the Wuerttemberg area in Germany. The questionnaire is designed to be filled in by an official, a coach or a board chairman of a swimming club or department. The aim is to collect information about the methods used to identify and develop talented swimmers within the swimming clubs. Furthermore, characteristics that are associated with successful talent identification and development were analysed in order to assess the critical aspects of success in systems of talent identification and development.
