This study aims to test the theoretical model of the role of parenting, social support, and self-confidence in the achievement of swimming athletes through the mediator Goal Setting fit. This study used an ex post facto approach, which is a research method that aims to investigate cause-and-effect relationships. The population of this study were 950 swimming athletes who participated in the National Level Inter-Association Swimming Championship. The sampling technique was purposive sampling, and the sample in this study was 120 athletes. The data collection used scales and documentation. The SmartPLS application was used for data analysis in order to test the measurement model's appropriateness with field data. According to test results, parenting, social support, and self-confidence all have a direct, beneficial, and large impact on swimming athletes' success through the mediator goal setting. Social support has the greatest contribution to the achievement of swimming athletes in the 50-meter and 100-meter freestyle numbers compared to parenting and self-confidence. The researchers suggest that future studies should be able to look at a wider range of population coverage. Furthermore, cross-cultural validation is necessary to have a deeper insight and nuanced comprehension of a study's findings. © 2025 by authors, all rights reserved.
