I went to a swim camp this summer where they taught me to start like this. Now that high school swim has started, the coach is telling me I’m wrong and making me do the normal start with hands going straight into streamline from the blocks. What would you do in this situation? The coach that I did the swim camp with coaches the local community college team at our pool, so I’m going to see if she could talk to the new coach.

May i give you my point of view
1 - As usual Lindsey gave us a clever tip to achieve a powerfull take-off. That's the way competitive swimmer do it.
2 - There's a point that is important either and i think that is the part your high school teacher wants you to work on first : the entry phase. Power iso nothing without a great hydrodynamic entry in water (all your body passing through a hole).
3 - A few weeks ago my coach made me feel the advantage to have a good hydrodynamic profile (just fall in the water on the edge of the pool without pushing with legs). That's awesome how far you can go.
4 - i may advice you to work on good entry, good profile under water and then you add the powerfull take-off of Lindsey.
Hope this will help you. 😉

Show him a slowed down video of olympic swimmers starts. Basically all of them use their arms like this

[@todddoherty]

If you look closely at Anna on the start, she gets at least a foot further with the new start. Show your coach this video.

Thank you. A year ago or so I was admitted into hospital for depression and was in a mental health ward for about 6 months. I'd always go swimming after 8 o clock as it helped my depression. But the problem is anti depressants are anti everything. So I lost the will to swim. A couple days ago you posted and I have talked to my doctor and my meds have come down. I hope it will only be 10 weeks before I'm completely off them. Already I'm looking at pools and listening to the water when I have a bath. So thank you

I have a few friends that have gone through depression. Swimming is actually a big help to feel better! Even if you have lost the motivation, keep going and try new things in swimming to make it more fun. Don't expect specific outcomes and just enjoy racing, your friends, and improving technique. It's a life-long sport. Don't give it up. 👍❤️

[@sazzlewarrior8995]

@@todddoherty Thank you. It means a lot

[@pameladobuler9577]

swimming helps a lot with my depression. I can relate. Good luck with everything.

[@zhao4113]

I already do a sling shot start and man can it help a lot plz give it a try

[@anniehippen5714]

Do an all your suits video!

[@user-qz5mg2qi6u]

what a tip

[@paulhetherington3854]

Another sternum drive - hmm, usually ovr looked(lokd). Over looked! Sternum - pumps out, what is needed.
The secret grip(Grippen - Swden)! Get good grip, not emphasized by, bend down more. It helps - propel. Balanced fluid mole. Hence; gel packs - may not, help ever.

[@aghoname]

Good drill, but i think hip needs to be much higher to provide more explosive power, thank you

[@meghan9683]

Hi 😊......I feel like you see me on every video.......

[@Fisher-wy8zd]

Back foot looks too low...

[@todddoherty]

True. Anna just learned this start and could use some tweaks to perfect it in the future. Maybe in another video. 😉
