Abstract

Aim: The current research aims to improve the startup of swimming through a technical performance program with recommended equipment with reference to kinematic variables and to identify its effects on 25m front crawl time. Approach: The researcher used the experimental approach (one-group design) with pre- and post-measurements. Participants: Participants (n=10) were purposefully chosen from junior swimmers (less than 14 years) of Tanta Sports Club according to the following criteria: All participants have elite levels and digital records. All participants know the four strokes, start, turn and touch. All participants are punctual in their training. During jumping, legs should be fully extended. Push the block forward and upward with feet. Arms beside ears in a fluent position to transfer center of gravity forwards Push your hands forward to the farthest possible distance as this moves center of gravity forward and lead the body to fall in water in the right time with the right angle. At entry, arms move outwards and forwards while the head is in line with the backbone. Training should be three times per week for flash start using the recommended device and according to technical standards of the training program. Arms should lead body movements towards water until reaching the suitable entry angle.
