- In a swimming race, every millisecond counts! And if you haven’t perfected your dive off the starting blocks, you could be leaving precious speed on the table.
The key to a good swimming start is lots of practice…and we have two drills that will help you refine your technique so you dive off the blocks (almost) perfectly every time.

There are so many great videos about actual swimming but ones that talk about starting part is hard to find. I found starting usually ignored by casual swimmers yet it requires most tuning and practicing to suit your own situation.
Very helpful tutorial! Thank you!
Thanks for the pointers on best way to start a swimming race .
This new channel is an awesome new addition.

Thank you Taylor Holmes!!! I love your tips!!!! :-)
Thank you for this. I'm 64 returning to competitive swimming and somewhat nervous about using the starting block..
You've got this!
Your instruction is very precise and helpful. I love your channel The swimming pool is very nice, can someone tell me where is it.
Thanks for the kind words! This pool is in Phuket, Thailand at the Thanyapura Sports Resort :)
Thanks Taylor You are amy teacher😊
For some reason I cannot jump, I found this video amazing and I can’t wait to try it until I finally jump rather than fall. You are awesome, thanks for sharing🎉
thanks for this useful video
Well, okay for a starter video, but missing 2 key points that you need for an elite level start. One is that I don't think anyone does the arm circle you show at about 1:20, but all of them do what I call the chicken wing thing with the elbows, which is what Feres does at about 1:26. The elbows lifting to that position actually helps you get a little bit more height and distance off the blocks. The other point is the heel kick/lift with the back foot. Saw one coach actually holding a rubber bouncy ball over the swimmers legs as they went off the blocks. They wanted the swimmer to kick the ball out of their hand on the start. Again, this helps get a little more height and distance off of the blocks. Most of us will never have starts like Caleb Dressel, but I still want to try...
Thanks for adding these extra tips in robohippy!
Brad Tandy does a full straight arm circle, but there aren't many swimmers who do fly-over starts like Tandy and Dressel, most do a more back-and-forth motion like Feres. you'll see Phelps and Marchand doing that a lot.
@@casualartist4202 I am so old, we used to start in the shallow end and 'slap the water so you can start swimming'... We used to do the full arm circle back then. I am not familiar with Brad Tandy, but if some one did that full arm circle, it would stand out. By back and forth motion, I am guessing you mean some lean back a bit first. I have no clue as to what a 'fly over' start is.
@@robohippy So I'm referring to the arm motion during a start. There are videos online of Caeleb Dressel and Brad Tandy's starts, both of which do "flyover" starts, where the arms pull on the blocks and "fly over" the shoulders in a circular motion. Dressel does this with bent arms, and Tandy does this with straight arms. As for the "back and forth" start, I'm referring to pulling on the block, and then simply moving the arms back forwards after pulling without any flyover, similar to what Michael Phelps and Leon Marchand would do in their starts. Hope this clears things up.
@@casualartist4202 I had to look up Brad Tandy, and that took me to a Race Club video I watched a long time ago. In watching it, the heel kick reminded me of the same action applied to front hand springs. Never noticed that some pull their arms behind them, rather than up. Thanks for this. Did find one on Phelps and his starts. Only one I could find with Leon was focused on his IM, and not on his starts.
II really like the way you explain how to do things in swimming just like a pro. Hi from Turkey. You are just wonderful Taylor.... I am learning from you.. I have already partially fixed my head and body position and breathing. I am now trying to fix kicking and flip turning from the wall.. Thank you lady ... 🤓
So glad to hear that! Keep up the great work and have fun :)
It is very beautiful to watch how professional swimmers jump :)
I really whant to be a fast swimmer but, what kind of food should I eat ?
This is just what I have been looking for!
Thanks
I actually coach dive starts into hula hoops👏👏😄👍....excellent for prone strokes and for Backstroke the student starts inside the hoop then hurdles hands first, backward and out of the hoop.
❤ thank you taylor :)
Excelent!!!✨

Like a hot knife diving into butter...I want to be able to do that...☺
Where should the eyes focus on while diving? How can I keep my goggles on? Mine fell off my face everytime. :(( Thank you so much for all the good instructions.
Keep your head down while on the block and in streamline and make sure your goggles are tightened to your face:)
Can we contact uv

When I was warking as a lifeguard I saw haw jumping platform came off under the feet of the swimmer :)
Today is race day 😥i but thanks
👍👍👍
How to prevent your goggles falling down while you're diving into the water?
What you are supposed to do is “double cap” so
Put on your swim cap and then your goggles over it and then you want to take your second cap and put that over your goggles. It helps so the goggles don’t move.
But I’m not good at explaining so if that doesn’t help just look up “double capping in swim”
Your dive can also affect this if your dive is good it probably is the goggles or something else
Taylor so cute 🥰
I concur with you.
😊I’M NOT OKAY WITH YOU GUYS BUT I’M SO 😅UHU😊😊SIDHEWSSTRRRRREEEEE
🎉👍👌🥇🎊✨
My problem is I get water under my goggles every time I touch the water and I have to stop half way and remove the water off my goggles or I can't see anything. CWhat can I do? Wrong goggles? Try other ones? And no, I can't tighten them up harder xDD
Keep your head down and if your head is down while you dive and are in streamline you need new goggles
I think I’d learn faster if you just swam with me
please can you pin my comment
The music isn’t helping or amusing or adding anything. Actually it’s for me annoying..!
Same
Watch it on mute then 😒😒😒😒😒
