"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.
