  • Answer:

    I used to be on a swim team, our coach used to stress that we try to dive "OUT Onto" the water rather than "into" the water. Simply stated as you come off the blocks dive as if you are aiming to touch the opposite side of the pool...landing almost flat on the water....

You can make your dive more effective by diving out over the water, slightly bending at your hips (called a pike) aim your hands toward the water, punch a hole in the water with your hands and then have your head, shoulders and hips go through the same hole. As you enter the water, be certain you are in streamline position and take a dolphin kick to flatten out. If you do this correctly, you'll feel a HUGE surge forward. Stay in streamline until AFTER you do your breakout.

its all about the push off you get and the angle you hit the water the only way to make your push better is to make your legs stronger,i recomend running 1-2 miles about 5 times a week the only way to get the right angle to the water is to have someone watch you and tell you to get a diffeferent angle then just practice
