I used to belly flop 3/4 through the swim season. What really helped me was visualizing (or actually have) hula hoops that you have to jump through both in the air and in the water. You may be aiming too far forward, try aiming a little closer when you dive in the water
How to dive in swimming - Track start Feed shoulder-width apart Look towards knee Fingertips first Then shoulders Torso And legs Hold streamline and kick -------------------------------------------------- Grab start - Look directly at knees -------------------------------------------------- Use Grab or Track start Both feet forward One foot forward Wrap toes around edge Hips High, Look down On beep, lean forward Hands in streamline Point hands to flags Kick before losing momentum
I dived for the first time today and basically belly flopped, it felt like shards of broken glass going through me. I needed this video before being adventerous.
I was very pleased to seek out this youtube video-channel.I wanted to thanks to your time for this glorious learn!! I definitely having fun with every little bit of it and I have you bookmarked to take a look at new stuff you video post.
Make sure that your goggles are so tight that it's difficult to remove, but not so tight that it is uncomfortable. Ensure that when you dive, your goggles are suctioned onto your eyes. The biggest problem when diving with goggles is that the goggles are not suctioned onto your eyes properly. Lastly, ensure that your chin is down to your chest, and don't look up. These things should help your goggles stay on :)
best solution is to look forward a little bit not downward, so your goggles will face the water directly, dont worry about water getting in your nose, this will not happen.
+Matthew Johnston Try concentrating on your streamline. Really try to squeeze your head in between your arms whenever you're diving and try to stay in this position throughout. This should solve your bellyflopping problem.
Glitch Spot I'm a perfect swimmer with great dives but you only get the beep noise In a real competitive race, you can't get them at local pools or elsewhere except from real timed races with other swimmers!
I have my first meet coming up and I am worrying about the dive because I sometimes go really deep into the water and I have a fear of drowning.. The pool i'm swimming at is around 12ft but the one I normally swim in is 6ft. Is there anyway to keep myself from diving to deep?
Make sure you really push off of the block so you land further instead of landing closer. Don't be afraid to really get a good jump and pushing THAT hard off the blocks, it'll help to land further instead of landing closer and diving deeper.

thanks! I just wish the yellow band of words weren't displayed across the bottom when she dives in, because it obstructs the view of the angle of her head when she enters the water. Or, if you'd show her from the side as she's entering the water, that would also allow us to see the angle of her head AND arms, so we can better grasp the concept of not pointing downward, but pointing outward. Is it just shy of a belly flop? I feel like I"m not pointing down because I come out close to the surface instead of the bottom, but I lose my goggles every single time.
I’m a pretty good swimmer, but when I swim for my club we don’t have any blocks so we don practice diving, I’ve tried a few times but I’m awful any tips???
I know how to dive it's just my technique is bad. And since I'm a open water swimmer I don't dive. And I'm going to swimming trials for the school swim team'... Wish me luck..
If I use this technique, will I get a rush of water going into my nose? I'll try to blow as hard as I can, in such a way that the outgoing pressure (from my lungs) would withstand the force pushing into the nose? Is that logical? :s
what i like to do is to place my upper lip over my nostrils that way water wont enter. For added effect, trying sniffing your lip into your nostril. But use this with caution because inhaling will take away air from your lungs causing you to not last long underwater.
practice I have swim for about 6 years and sometimes when I am trying something new I land on my stomach but you get up, ask your coach what did I do wrong and start again!
Crispy Cheese the higher the block the easier but five in a deeper pool it's easier and also watch maybe some Olympic swimming videos and watch how they dive
would pointing my fingertips towards the flag cause my head/goggles to hit the water first and not my hands? i always point towards the water to avoid my goggles from flying off. help please, i really suck at diving xdxdxdxddxddxddxdx
When diving if your head is down and your neck is flat with your streamline arms your head should take the impact of the dive.Also make sure your goggles are a proper fit for your face. When you next dive over correct and put your chin to colarbone. hope that helps
Thanks for the tips but I don't need them I knew how to dive off of the side of the pool then I played a game with my friends and well it took diving off the diving board I got scared and when I went I just went I didn't think about and made it now I dive all the time but if I thought about it I would have belly flopped 😦
I try to dive right but every time, I dive my legs/knees go in (first) my coach say in need to look down and have a "better stream line" but it is always a fail for me... help pls
Jasmine Adams I like to look midway between the pool and down so that my eyes are more looking toward my feet I then push of pulling my hands tightly together in a streamline doing this can tense ur legs up as well so that when you jump in ur body is straight
Jasmine Adams keep your hips up as you push to dive and look up and back down right before you enter the water i guess? its always good to make sure your head is below your arms if that makes sense I in the streamline position
When you jump of the diving block, and first enter the water you're supposed to dolphin or butterfly kick until you get to the surface. Unless you're doing the breaststroke, then you'd immediately go into your breaststroke or frog kick.
kibalily🌞 Same with me. It could be that your goggles are too loose, so tighten them up, (but not too tight). If you dive in too deep, maybe reduce the force of falling a bit. Try to keep your eyes forward or below you at the water I've had the same problem before but now all I am stuck with is being scared of diving xD Well, good luck!
I havent trirde a dive but I do jumped in the water i know swimming I have a competition guys and they want dive I will try to dive wish me all the best pleas
i have a PROBLEM: my goggles always slip off when i dive in the water. i swear i've already made it as tight on my head as possible. does anyone know how i can remedy this? am i suppose to angle my face in a specific way?
Actually u should do butterfly kicks while in the streamline position. And the grab start doesn't get u a bigger push it's just another dive. Don't list ion to this as a competitive swimmer I find this completely wrong. If ur hands are completely at the flags u have a chance of going straight back up to the water has ur hands actually dictate where ur going when u dive.
When i do this i just dive too deep and hit the bottom of the pool , waisting alot of time to come back up and i just don`t know what i`m doing wrong...
Pooopy Pooop oh i see... there`s a guy that swims with me and he jumps like crazy far, 4 or 5 meters! I have to try that but im afraid to belly flop that`s why i don`t jump too far hahaaha
+Joni Mendes it practice you need to get a good angle so you don't belly flop or hit the bottom. It not the best way of diving as there are ways of getting more power.
aren't you supossed to place you hands to the wáter and not the flags? because if you do so then you will land on your stomach doesn't it???? thanks!!!
***** If you aim your hands to far down (Towards the water right below you) you will probably just end up sinking right to the bottom. I normally aim somewhere between the water and the flags, but once you dive, if you end up to shallow or deep, just point your fingertips in the direction you want to go (up or down) hope that helps!
when I dive I always end up belly flopping HELP!!!

Just practice bro
Tuck in your chin and keep your arms straight

Whenever I dive in my goggles either fall off or water get into them, ive already tried tightening them but it still happens

Put your goggles under ur cap hope that helps
awesomer1127 in my opinion it has something to do with the nose bridge
awesomer1127
Make sure it's dry, also place it in a comfortable position
I'm so thankful. This video helped me a lot. I watch it every morning before a race :D
I have tryouts tomorrow and I still don't know how to do this. I just can't bend my body properly and I usually do a belly flop.
same I belly flop I need to dive cus I'm doing a race and u need to dive
+Matthew Johnston Try concentrating on your streamline. Really try to squeeze your head in between your arms whenever you're diving and try to stay in this position throughout. This should solve your bellyflopping problem.
im trying to do it but yeah, i belly flop and i REALLY HURTS!
I was waiting ages for the beep there was no beep I made a show of myself xD
we don't have a beep either.

Glitch Spot we get beeps here 😂
Glitch Spot I know this was posted a year ago, but just saying.. you can always ask the coach/life saver to wistle instead
NIce instrcutions (looks like playing twister at a certain moment). All very helpful. I'll recommend your video to my customers
Mikel Tube
The best tuto so far!

I'll try it today at the pool, tkanks a lot.

I’m a pretty good swimmer, but when I swim for my club we don’t have any blocks so we don practice diving, I’ve tried a few times but I’m awful any tips???
im doing a diving leson next week that will be usefull
Guys I have a question because I’ve never gone off a diving board once ur in the water so I swim up to go up or will I automatically go up
Thank you so much for this! It really helps!! :D
learnt a lot thanks
You should make new videos of the shallow end eight feet.
by kicking before losing momentum, should I kick butterfly?
It feels so unnatural going heAd first into a pool
I could not agree more
M
IKR
Exactly xD
Your pfp is unnatural
thanks, it was helpful!
I know how to dive it's just my technique is bad. And since I'm a open water swimmer I don't dive. And I'm going to swimming trials for the school swim team'... Wish me luck..
Any tips that could help...
8wolfie2003 AJ have you ever tried watching other more improved swimmers I mean it really. Helps
Lilly Peaches I have and it has helped a bit
8wolfie2003 AJ well that's a good start so maybe if u ask them about their technique they can give u some tips but if that fail just keep trying
8wolfie2003 AJ me to
If you are a competitive swimmer FORGET the grab start it's too slow , all about the track start especially with the new blocks
Very nice.
Great swimmers. I really love these.
thanks!!
any tips on how our head should be like once we kick off from the board?
If I use this technique, will I get a rush of water going into my nose? I'll try to blow as hard as I can, in such a way that the outgoing pressure (from my lungs) would withstand the force pushing into the nose? Is that logical? :s
what i like to do is to place my upper lip over my nostrils that way water wont enter. For added effect, trying sniffing your lip into your nostril. But use this with caution because inhaling will take away air from your lungs causing you to not last long underwater.
I have a swimming meet tomorrow but I don't know how to dive😂
Oof same
Same
Carolyn Yu i felt this hardcore bro
@@secretangel3665 metoo
I swim for scsc and that is where this is held!!
You dont do flutter kicks after diving. You do dolphin kicks instead
Nice information
💙🇮🇹 i m gianni ! italian swimming instructor 🇮🇹💙
My swimming lesson is next week and i haven't try it so what should i do if i land on my stomach first?
You are touching with finger shoulders first
+Duszek Smsaczek ??
practice I have swim for about 6 years and sometimes when I am trying something new I land on my stomach but you get up, ask your coach what did I do wrong and start again!
+Is VR my coach want me to join state team should I accept? and also the for giving me tips
Crispy Cheese the higher the block the easier but five in a deeper pool it's easier and also watch maybe some Olympic swimming videos and watch how they dive
Does anybody know the diving technique usually performed by divers? They’ll push off and do almost like a movement mid air, it’s so graceful
Why are you wearing jewelry?
Mario Padilla haha was that the only thing you noticed haha
Just Watch *
Mario Padilla i
Why not?
She’s was?
"Put your hands forward towards the flags (in my case other end of the pool)". Yeah, I'm gonna bellyflop so fucking hard.
would pointing my fingertips towards the flag cause my head/goggles to hit the water first and not my hands? i always point towards the water to avoid my goggles from flying off. help please, i really suck at diving xdxdxdxddxddxddxdx

Thank you!
What is memento? And streamline?

Thanks for the tips but I don't need them I knew how to dive off of the side of the pool then I played a game with my friends and well it took diving off the diving board I got scared and when I went I just went I didn't think about and made it now I dive all the time but if I thought about it I would have belly flopped 😦

I suck at starting, and I have bruises on my legs from where they hit the water HARD. They don't hurt, but they look like they would.
I'm scared of diving but I'm not THAT bad at it I'm just terrified
Can anyone help?
Darlene Cartile sameeee
Thank goodness I'm not alone!
Darlene Cartile like when ever I have swim training I try my best to avoid diving cause I’m scared I’ll belly flop

How did you know
it is useful when swimming

Thanks.
When i looks at my knees i alwayys dive in to deep so im scared to do that at swim meets plus goggles fall off
Keep your head down while you dive
did u even read mawh comment i said when i keep my head down i dive to deep and my goggles fall off

lol thanks its getting way easier now
No prob, and good to hear
When i dive, my cap falls off. Please someone answer because i have a meet tommorow
You should find a tighter cap, but not too tight
If you have the right size cap it won't fall off
Actually, I just put my googles under neath my cap
I havent trirde a dive but I do jumped in the water i know swimming I have a competition guys and they want dive I will try to dive wish me all the best pleas
i have a PROBLEM: my goggles always slip off when i dive in the water. i swear i've already made it as tight on my head as possible. does anyone know how i can remedy this? am i suppose to angle my face in a specific way?
that moment when you dont have a pool yet you watch diving lesson
I used to afraid that I couldn't dive but it's easy when you practice a little
I have swimming class next week
Everytime i start diving i always end up doing a belly flop :( help please
Lol I had swimming today and I bellyflopping it didn't hurt tho lol
How to dive with our mouth open? Without drawning?
Help my face hurts tho🤣

Water always ends up entering my nose and mouth, what can I do? Luckily I use earbuds so water doesn't enter my ears at least
When i do this i just dive too deep and hit the bottom of the pool , waisting alot of time to come back up and i just don`t know what i`m doing wrong...
You may be diving to close to where you start. Try diving a bit father. The closer you dive, the deeper you go.
Pooopy Pooop oh i see... there`s a guy that swims with me and he jumps like crazy far, 4 or 5 meters! I have to try that but im afraid to belly flop that`s why i don`t jump too far hahaaha

I have the same problem and it is really keeping my from meddling
HEY! THIS IS AT ISC

Umm I think the last time we did grab starts as a thing was like 1972
Janice Barry ikr my coaches suddenly want us to do the grabstart but it's so annoying
