My start is really bad…

I need to improve my start, especially since I sprint 50m BR. Start is half of the race ))) No matter if I try grab or track start, it’s all the same – I’m going a bit down from the block (like falling), there is no horizontal fly phase. Then I slap water with my shanks. And with that I dive too deep in – about 6-7 feet. Here is the video of different start takes in every other manner to find that horizontal body position. I failed every time. https://youtu.be/K8S11zOi1rQ I think there is too much coordination tasks for me in one rapid motion. Is it possible to break it into key movements? Or any other advices? Put a cord across the lane? Or a hula-hoop? ))

    Here is a series of videos from USA Swimming that breaks dive starts down into its different components. Hope this helps. I think you omitted the link, no? ))
