My pool does not allow any diving so all my times are based on starting in the water. I've been trying to figure out how much time (if any) a dive would shave off my times. Anybody have any idea? Say I swim the 50 in :30, what's your guess as to what the time would be if I could dive at the start?
There was a study a couple of years ago that showed,on average,starting from the blocks was 1 sec faster than starting from the side with a dive and that was 1 sec faster than starting in the water(or from the blocks was 2 sec faster than from in the water.)That was an average,your results may vary.
