Is off the side of the pool better than nothing at all for practicing starts?
The pool I practice in has no start blocks.
Learning how to dive start here.
Thanks
I would think it would be better than nothing. At least you could concentrate on your entry (going through a small hole in streamline position) and your breakout (how to get back up to the surface, how many dolphin kicks, if any, sensing the surface). Keep in mind you will want to make adjustments the day of a competition to make sure you do what you want to do when you do a start from a block. :2cents:
