Does the depth of the dive have any significant advantage for a swimmer? if so, is there a technique to control how depth of the dive?

It's been a while since I swam or coached but the technique was called a one hole dive. The object off the starting block was to dive towards the flags over the pool. When you reached your highest point you kicked your hips up and angled your head down. As soon as youi hit the water you arched your back and your momentum would "shoot" you towards the surface. Don't go too deep but don't try to hit the water all at once either, that will kill your momentum.

One way to control your dive is to dive into the water and glide, then you can do a flip to the surface and swim back.
If you are diving and then swimming, then you should dive into the water and glide, then you can do a flip to the surface and take a breath of air and start swimming you might get tired because you have done a dive already. And to me, swimming fast doesn't matter, it only matters if you try your best and enjoy it. Momentum also is a main thing that you have to consider.It's what makes you feel tired or very ready.

injuries from diving frequently happen no longer by utilising hitting the backside of the pool yet by utilising hitting some thing earlier they enter the pool such because of the fact the platform or area or by utilising poor get right of entry to. maximum gifted divers do no longer dive deep sufficient to hit the backside of the pool. in the event that they have a lapse of concentration then possibly they could touch the backside yet not often (if no longer under no circumstances) might you hit upon guy or woman who hits their head on the backside. particular, you will possibly be afflicted by concussion and die from diving in case you hit an merchandise no longer common. Olympic divers have been conventional to have such injuries. i'm not sure what the harm/death data are.

A deeper dive slows down your forward momentum, as the power you're pushing off with is being used to go downward instead of outward.
Best technique is to push off straight out and only angle your body slightly as you hit the water. Thus your momentum is directed outward, not down.
