Dive
Stand firmly on the poolside with toes around
the front edge. Place hands to the side or front
of the legs; Hands & Fingers will secure body
position with body weight very slightly
f o rw a rds. Dive out down the pool to full
stretch; At the highest point of the dive drop
the head towards the water surface, the whole
body then enters through the same point of
contact on the water surface which the hands,
arms and head has cut as if you were diving
through a hoop; Come out of this position and
into a streamlined position following entry into
the water in order for the body to become
streamlined. Hold a streamlined position for a
short time underwater and start to execute a
dolphin leg kick to maintain speed. It is possible
to find greater speed whilst underwater due to
good streamlining and momentum. Ensure the
leg kick helps drive the body to the water
surface. Never dive into shallow waters.
