The Streamline in Swimming apply in Freediving

Being streamline means having a position in the water that creates as less drag/resistance as possible.

Brent S. Rushall said :

« It is important to consider resistance in terms of swimming performance. If resistance can be minimized, then the propulsive effects of a swimmer’s efforts will be maximized. »[Rushall B. and all 1994] (Part IV – Resistive Force)

There is 3 differents kind of resistance that a swimmer as to face [M. Toussaint and Peter J. Beek, 1992]:

  • The pressure drag
  • The wave-making resistance
  • The frictional drag
