Working Outline
- Doing a dive off a block
- Intro
- Imagine diving into the water and feeling the cool sensation while you glide
- Been a swimmer for 12 years
- Story about my win at a freestyle race at states and how it was because I had the fastest start out of all the competitors
- Thesis: When doing a dive, it is in the best interest of the person to know why a dive is significant, how to set themselves up for having a good start, and how to get a good push off
- Importance of a dive
- Indicates start of the race
- Can determine how well you start your race
- The fastest part of the race
- Breaking down the positions
- Feet positions
- The feet need to be a foot apart from one another with the dominant foot in front
- Some people have feet together if they cannot determine their dominant foot
- Toe of the dominant foot need to curl over the block
- The back foot is for stability
- The feet need to be a foot apart from one another with the dominant foot in front
- Hand positions
- Hands need to be outside the feet, about a foot apart
- The fingers need to curl around the block just as the feet would
- Head position
- Head should be locked between the arms and the arms squeezing the head tightly over the ears
- Head position is key for where you want to go in the water
- If it is too high, you could belly flop
- If it is too low, you go to the bottom of the pool
- Both will lose you time on the block
- Back position
- Make sure your back is straight and does not have too much of an up-arch or a down arch
- Back is also a key component of where you will go in the water
- Feet positions
- Jumping off
- If you have the correct position, it will make it easier to jump off
- A swimmer is indicated when to jump off when they hear a start buzzer
- When taking off, make hands and feet are are working together
- Feet
- You want to use the grip the toes to the best of your ability
- Push forward with both feet, putting strength in the back foot
- Hands
- You want to pull up while gripping your hands to pull your body down before buzzer
- Push hands forward to propel off the wall after buzzer
- Once you take off, you want to go into a streamline position
- Dominant over non-dominant
- Head still between the arms
- Putting it all together
- When you dive, it takes technical and physical strength
- If you want to be the fastest racer you can be, it starts with having a solid dive and having a fast reaction time when hearing the start buzzer
- Show the video
- Conclusion
- You need to make sure you are in the right mind set, you have the right body placement, and you have a powerful start
- If you practice it enough, you can become so fast at it
- Olympic swimmers by the time they hear the start buzzer have a reaction time, from jumping off the block and being in the water, of less than a second
