Starting block: arm swing start with longer delay of the push off

ADDITIONAL PRACTICE for school dive when we have troubles with coordinating the swing and the push off. During the performance we focus on:

  • start position with spreaded legs, feet in the width of hips, toes clinging the edge, forward bend and appropriately bended knees,
  • swing with extended arms and head,
  • flight and transition into the water with extended body position and head fixed in between the extended arms,
  • gliding deep enough,
  • gliding underwater where we control the depth with tilting the arms and hands,
  • the start of the swimming to the surface on time.
