  • The technical components of a start is all about how you enter and exit the surface tension of the water, critical in a 50. You can increase your power output, but that is met by an equal increase in the resistance of the water. You don't go faster... . are you saying that resitance increases on a 1 to 1 ratio as you swim faster? I do know that resistance increases with speed, however as you apply more power should still provide an increase in speed, albeit with much less effeciency.
