Best Answer

Diving is how you start a race in swimming. (Except for backstroke) Swimmers stand on blocks and dive in the water when the race start. This is quite simple and takes a month to learn but years to master (Been diving 3 1/2 years now but still haven't mastered it)

Most do the split dive which is one foot forward one foot back but you can do both feet at the front of the block.
