IN DOES AN IDEAL SWIMMING START STYLE EXIST&amp;nbsp;YOU’LL LEARN: Start trajectories are huge! They should be considered at a young age due to the development of motor learning principles. Not a lot of start work is put in before meets. More exercises aimed at start work should be incorporated in dryland training. Starts are plyometric movements. The body needs to adapt, to train a certain way, and to react to sudden stress. Increasing anxiety and fear during practice as simulations are recommended to improve performance under pressure. An ideal start is customized for every swimmer based off intrinsic skills and body types. It is the coach’s job to maximize the swimmer’s performance.
