Swimming Starts - Faults & Fixes Chart Special Olympics Aquatics Coaching Guide Created: February 2004 Teaching Aquatics Skills - Stroke Development Swimming Starts Error Correction Drill/Test Reference Swimmer slips off block or edge of pool. Swimmer enters the water on an angle. Swimmer’s arms are apart during entry into water. Ensure that swimmer’s toes are curled over block or edge. Ensure that the swimmer is well balanced and that movement off edge/block is even. Ensure a streamlined body position - hands together on entry, arms squeezing against ears/head. Coaches Tips for Swimming Starts – At-A-Glance Tips for Practice 1. Practice both grab and track start to find which one suits. 2. Practice a streamlined body position in and out of water. 3. Practice dive, using correct start commands. Practice standing on block with toes over block. 1. Practice jumping forward off the block. 2. Encourage the swimmer to look forward, jumping in feet first. 1. Practice entry into water with one hand on top of the other. 2. Preferably the stronger hand underneath as this will be the hand/arm which will pull first. 4. In backstroke, practice streamlining off wall, using either a flutter kick or butterfly kick. 5. Practice pushing off wall, using a split stroke, under water, for breaststroke. 6. Practice starting off edge/block, using a split stroke under water for breaststroke. 155
