Diving v. Pushing Off:

So how much difference is there in times on say, 100's when diving versus pushing off the wall for those that have good diving starts? I don't hop out of the water when training to do a lot of dive-in starts (though I know I should do it more), but I'm just so familiar with my times from starting from the wall. I've just started masters, former age grouper with 15 year hiatus...

  • I think this is a highly individualized number based on each individual's start, push, and push off from turn. My push off after a flip turn is much more efficient and stronger. My time is usually about 4 seconds faster from a block as opposed to a push off.
