"Races are won and lost at the start ... Learn to WIN!"
We try to get off to a good start in everything we do. Because we know that if we don't, we're forced to play catch-up; we're left operating at a disadvantage. The same is true in swimming. A bad start can cost seconds, or the whole race. Yet even a "fast" start isn't necessarily a "good" start.
PowerStarts® has developed a start-dive technique that will take time off of almost any swimmer's races. The PowerStarts® Start-Dive Training SystemTM takes maximum advantage of physics, biomechanics, kinesiology, ballistics, and hydrodynamics, yet is taught in a fun and simple manner such that the swimmer need not understand any of the "-ics" and "-ologies" to enjoy the full benefit of the techniques.
We are also developing a range of products, such as starting blocks and training systems, focused around the swim start to help support the world of Swimming in the pursuit of ever better performance.

To provide state-of-the-art resources, tools, and training for swimmers and coaches. And to become the standard start-dive technique and training system for the elite swim teams of the world.
