Depending on the height of the starting block and how fast you can jump off compared to how fast you can push off the wall, in almost all races it can subtract at least 1-3 seconds.
Swimmers certainly can go on a plane after swimming, although I suppose they'd prefer to dry off and get dressed first. Only cause for concern would be if they've gotten water in their ears, which might interfere with their ability to equalize the pressure as the plane climbs. Divers OTOH, should be real careful about flying soon after a dive. Unless they're fully recovered from the dive the pressure drop at ascent can trigger decompression sickness.
A backward dive is a dive in which the diver faces away from the water when taking off, and lands facing backwards.
you don't EVER turn off ANY dive computer.... they will turn themselves off when they have completed their calculations (ie: 24 hours to fly after last dive).
A back dive is another name for a backwards dive, a dive in which the diver faces away from the water when taking off, and lands facing backwards.
Dominant foot forward with toes hanging over the block a little bit. The back leg is resting on its toes on the opposite end of the block. Crouch down and you may touch the block with your hands. Lean back and look behind you through your legs. When you're going to dive launch yourself forward with your head first and outstretch your arms in streamline reaching out in front of you, then aim down a little.
when you dive into the water going forward. usually touching your toes and then diving in.
Dive is not an HM/TM anymore so it can't learn dive, but you can get it from a different region so if you trade a Pokemon holding that move then take it off them it can learn dive.
Andrea was afraid to dive off the high board and she knew she would do a belly flop/

You dive off the blocks at swim meets because it is faster. When you dive off of them you get more momentum rather than just pushing off the wall. Also it gives the crowd a chance to see all the competitors and what school and lane they represent rather than in the pool.
