We teach and recommend the Tandy Start to all swimmers! Named after Brad Tandy, this technique has 4 key elements that make the Tandy more explosive and efficient.
1. The Set Up – Keep your weight back on the block and hold tension through the arms so you’re ready to snap into the move.
2. The Arm Swing – Pull hard on the block, then drive your arms in a full circular motion to add extra airtime and power.
3. Back Leg Kick – As you leave the block, drive the back leg up to create high hips and a strong forward trajectory.
4. Hip Lift – Lift the hips as your upper body enters the water to ensure a clean, streamlined entry.
Practice these parts together for faster, cleaner race starts.
