Biomechanics help to understand the best body position to reduce drag following the dive, to maximize the speed that is achieved off the blocks. After the legs push off the wall, the body position must be streamlined to be able to glide further away. For each stroke, the technique has developed over the years due to close examination and research by sports biomechanics staff. Swimming suit (LZR Racer) reduce the friction against the body when cutting through the water, so that a faster time is developed.
