I know this comment is from a while ago, but I just wanted to drop an explanation: Basically, you're not pushing off from your arms when you dive. You want your body off the block as fast as possible with a powerful push from your legs. Bringing your arms up and over like that helps with getting you off the block quickly. It also helps with getting you really high in the air so you're not diving straight down, and it also encourages good form, in that it gets your entire body aligned quickly. They've begun teaching it to kids over the last few years and it's slowly taking off now!
And to think that the length of this video is how long it takes him to do a 50 free

He’s so crazy
watched this in .25 😭
Wow 😍
I’ve been here in Ohio before and it’s a really nice pool
I was there
same bro, such a nice facility
He seem that he push first on the rack with his backward feet?
yeah you should
I waa there for that clinic lol!
same
How far did he normally go in the dive
My districts for swimming is held there
This is actually not a great start by his standards, elbows and shoulders drop before he drives back. Good entry though
My sister got a picture with him cuz they went to the same swim meet💪💪
Why does he brings his arms up around his side like that? I feel like he isn’t able to incorporate his arms in the actually push off
