How to do a really good dive from a block at a
 
 
  race.
 
 
Wait until the starter gives instruction to get up.
 
Step up onto the block and get grip on the block, find your footing.
 
Look down the pool and imagine your race, swimming, getting in the lead and winning.
  
Bend your knees slightly and reach down to touch (or grab) the block when the starter gives the signal, “Swimmers take your mark.” Your weight is on the balls of your feet. 
 
push-off with your legs, your feet and even your toes at the sound of the starter (usually a gun or a horn). Aim for the opposite side of the pool.
 
Extend your arms over your head, with your shoulders up by your ears, and your legs together and toes pointed.
 
keep your body streamlined. Your head in between your shoulders and looking down (this will keep your goggles on). Try to enter the water with almost no splash.

  7. Hey man I just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to write something worth reading . I am all over the net and I see so much pointless content that is just created for the sake of putting something new on their site . It takes passion to create good stuff, thanks for caring.
