Streamline Push-Off Technique
Streamline push-off technique uses a tight arms-over-ears launch off walls to carry speed underwater—core-braced, exhaling calmly before the first breakout stroke.
Streamline push-off technique is the tight arms-over-ears, one-hand-over-other, core-braced launch after wall contact or dive—maximizing underwater distance before breakout strokes. Strong push-offs use full leg extension, toes pointed, and a short dolphin kick where rules allow.
Exhale slowly underwater to avoid a panicked first breath. Practice on every turn in technique sets, not only starts.
Loose streamlines create drag that shows up in repeat 50 times.
