Research an example of an Olympic event involving movement through water and describe three ways that movement is influenced by pressure and buoyancy

Olympic Swimming Name Institution Course Code and Title Instructor Date Olympic Swimming: Forces at Play in the 50m Freestyle The freestyle 50m is one of the most exciting races in Olympic swimming. It is an appropriate example of how pressure and buoyancy act upon an athlete moving through water (Burkett, 2018). This sprint-style race gives an insight into the power and technique a swimmer has while moving in water at high speed. From this explosive start to the final touch, every movement is affected by these basic forces. Understanding their impact is important to athletes striving toward Olympic glory. The race starts with the crucial dive at the start, for which the swimmer has to overcome underwater pressure to enter the pool effectively. As the swimmer leaps from the starting point, aiming to take a steep angle, they may feel extreme pressure (Scurati et al., 2019). The pressure is most forceful at the entry point and can have an effective impact on how deep they go initially and how quickly they move through the jump. These effects can be lessened by a swimmer getting into a streamlined "pike position" with the arms extended overhead and the legs together (Burkett, 2018). This would reduce the surface area that meets the water, allowing for a smoother entry with fewer losses in momentum. Swimmers do a few vigorous dolphin kicks underwater immediately they dive before they break the surface. This is the part o...
