Human beings begin their process of adapting to the environment in the maternal womb, where the liquid environment predominates and thus water begins to be part of human daily life. After all, we were immersed throughout the pregnancy, in the welcoming maternal womb. However, due to some unforeseen events at different stages of life, in addition to individual psychological fragility, some people acquire fear of water, known as aquatic phobia. The main objective of this study is to analyze 10 articles in total, from the research platforms LILACS, SCIELO, BIREME, pertinent to the theme, using as descriptors: Phobia, Swimming and motor development, making a critical analysis of the reasons that lead some people , to go through the trauma of the phobia since swimming is cited as one of the best activities capable of developing and accelerating their motor development in their practitioners. Highlighting what are the main reasons and or situations that lead people to have a phobia of the aquatic environment and its inhibition in psychomotor development, this study aims to demonstrate that the practice of swimming, according to the articles surveyed, favors the motor development of human beings and thus the treatment for aquatic phobia becomes favorable to them, so that they can also benefit from the practice of the sport.
