Questionnaires were used as a tool to find out the mental toughness. Dr. Alan Goldberg’s modified questionnaire was selected and used for the study. It was hypothesized that there would be a significant difference between the national level S6 and S4 swimmers. The t- test was employed to compare the degree of mental toughness between national level S6 and S4 swimmers. To analyze the score t-test was employed; the level of significance for testing the hypothesis is set at 0.05 level of confidence. There was no significant difference found between S6 and S4 swimmers. The S4 swimmers fared better than the S6 swimmers when mental toughness is considered.
