Head first jump from the starting block

This exercise concentrates on the normal head dive from the starting block without initially focusing on the specific starting position. After the jump, the swimmer glides through the water without leg or arm movements in order to get as far as possible. The aim is to achieve an ideal entry angle of 10-20 degrees and a powerful take-off. The distances covered should be noted so that they can be improved on repeated attempts. Optionally, a ring or swimming noodle can be used as a jumping aid, but there is a risk of injury. The main aim of this exercise is to cover as much distance as possible in a short time and this is practiced intensively.
