The latissimus dorsi muscles, commonly known as the lats, play a key role in swimming by providing power and propulsion during the pulling phase of each stroke. These muscles help in generating force to pull the arms through the water and contribute to the overall efficiency and speed of the swimming stroke. Strengthening the latissimus dorsi can improve a swimmer's performance and endurance in the water.
