What is a reverse squeeze or block in diving?
Oh, dude, a reverse squeeze or block in diving is when air pressure builds up in your sinuses as you ascend to the surface, causing discomfort or pain. It's like your body's way of saying, "Hey, slow down, I need to equalize!" So, basically, it's like your sinuses throwing a little temper tantrum because they're not fans of rapid changes in pressure.
Does diving off ablock get better swim times than pushing off a wall?
Diving off a block typically results in faster swim times compared to pushing off a wall due to the greater momentum generated during the dive. The streamlined entry into the water allows swimmers to maintain speed as they transition into their strokes. Additionally, the initial height of the dive provides a quicker start, enabling swimmers to cover more distance before they begin their strokes. Overall, the combination of these factors contributes to better performance when diving off a block.
Im 16 years old and want to start platform diving is it too late?
No. But it depends on how you are "built" if you are not that tall and slim you will be better at diving than a tall or overweight person because you will be more agile and can move quicker once in the air. Also there are not that many diving pools in the UK I think there are only six in the whole country, so that could prove to be a stumbling block providing your location.
