Efficient Start Techniques

It's important to Improve the efficiency of your start techniques.  If you want to start faster, you must improve the efficiency of your start techniques. Your starting positions and movements.

What does "improved efficiency" mean?  It means

1)  When you jump-off the starting block as hard as you usually do, you will move faster and go farther.
2)  Each start you take will move you farther in the water from the same effort you used in previous starting movements which did not move you as far before.

How do you improve?  Just practicing what you are doing now will not do it!  You must:

1)  Discover the optimum height and distance that directs you to enter the water through a single streamline entry through the water's surface.
2)  Become a better vertical jumper .....This is accomplished by:
        a)  more stretching
        b)  visualization
        c)  practicing vertical jumping skills
        d)  developing strength in leg muscles with emphasis on quickness
3)  Discover the optimum depth of entry for your individual body characteristics and athletic abilities.
4)  Discover the optimum length of underwater glide and least resistance to drag to maintain the maximum momentum of the velocity created from the dive entry.

Optimization

"Optimization in a mathematical sense means the search for a combination of possible variations which leads to a maximal (respectively, minimal) value for a given end-function of an overall process....Optimization in sports science refers to the determination of a pathway or an optimal, controlled variation of parameters to achieve the best results possible under the given personal and situational condition." Quote Verlag, Karl Hofmann, Dictionary of Sport Science (1987).

None of the above listed prerequisites for improvement can be accomplished with certainty using conventional start training methods without a huge investment in time.  However, with the patented PowerStarts Training System you will know the most efficient technique for the quickest most powerful start for you without a huge time investment.
