ABOUT THE PROJECT
This project is dedicated to taking something I love, swimming, and combining it with another thing that needs improvement, diving. Over the next twelve weeks, I plan to not only practice in the pool to meet this goal, but also out of the pool. The dives that I intend to work specifically on my regular start, relay start, and my backstroke start.
Throughout the extent of this project, I hope to drop my times in each swimming event by enhancing my dives. Every week I will participate in practice for at least three hours. I plan to actually work on the technique of each dive in the pool, and incorporate "dry-land" activities to strengthen my legs. Dry-land is a term used by swimmers to describe working out and doing exercises outside of the pool. I plan to focus these exercises on my legs because that's where most of the power of a dive comes from.
I will document my progress beyond my blog entries by writing down the assigned sets we do in swim practice, and the exercises for my legs in a journal. I can't wait to share with you each week!

Hello, my name is Riley White! I have been swimming since
I was about three years old. I started off just swimming during
the summers, but that lead to swimming all year long, and now
I swim for Davie County High School in North Carolina! One of
my weakest attributes when it comes to swimming has always
been my dive. My aspiration is that this project will help me
improve this aspect of my swimming career.
