We worked with 4 time Olympian Kasia Wilk Wasick on her swimming start. In our dryland video, we performed a series of exercises and flexibility tests. In this Part 1 of 3 video we begin our pool session with Kasia first showing us her 'old' start. Coach Gary videos and then reviews each start with Kasia progressively working on techniques that can be improved. Initially Kasia's first dives she has her weight forward that doesn't allow for a coupling motion with the arm swing. In order to incorporate an arm swing into the dive Kasia must change her setup position on the blocks. This requires a 'weight back' start where the center of mass is shifted towards the back foot. This creates tension in the hands and arms and allows the swimmer to pull up on the block creating a coupling motion with the arms. Once Kasia is comfortable with a new setup position on the blocks she begins to learn how to swing the arms around and keep the head up longer to maximize this coupling motion. In learning this start, each swimmer progresses a little bit differently that requires different drills and exercises to learn how to perform each coupling motion.

@@theraceclub sir my son is 8 years old and training in swimming from 2years now. He wants to compete professionally and at the highest level. Could you please suggest the approach towards his goal and how to improve his swim time in events and how we can further aim for the Olympics. Would appreciate your some suggestions on this.
Excellent!
Glad you liked it!
Glad you liked it!
How do you determine how far back to have the back wedge?
We think it's best to make the distance wherever it's most comfortable for the swimmer.
You forgot front foot toes gripping.
Yes, gripping with front toes is very important.
