Dive
Back extension is difficult to control during dives, due to the explosive nature of
the movement. The Corsuit can help swimmers gain an understanding of their
alignment as they leave the blocks and as they enter the water, ensuring power
and streamline are maximised.
From a starting position on the blocks, most swimmers’ backs will not be
completely in contact with the Corsuit. This is ok, as long as this hunch in the
lumbar spine is not excessive.
As the swimmer explodes from the blocks and the back extends, they will feel
their back come into contact with the Corsuit. Swimmers should attempt to not
extend beyond this Neutral Spine position, as over-extension can lead to power
loss. Limiting over-extension of the back will also help to ensure the hips
remain high relative to the shoulders, positioning the body for an ideal entry
angle.
