Water resistance and flow: physics of diving
Site adminSunday, 3 November 202489 views
A simple explanation of the physics behind your movement in the water and how to reduce resistance for more efficient diving.
Understanding the physics of movement in water transforms you from struggling with water into sailing in it.
Water resistance
Water is 800 times denser than air. Every movement in it requires more. Correct posture reduces this resistance.
Hydrodynamic position
A straight, horizontal body with arms close to the body has less resistance. This is what makes a diver fly, not swim.
An efficient diver works with the water, not against it.
