Description of the variables of interest.

Tuck Index	Minimal distance of the hip from the wall expressed as a percentage of the trochanter major height
WCT (s)	Duration of the wall contact, defined by a force threshold of 20 N on the wall-mounted force plate
5mRTT (s)	Duration covering 5 m-in to 5 m-out of the wall
Vin (m/s)	Average approach speed between the 5 and 3 m mark before the turn.
Tadapt (s)	The time needed to bring the feet to the wall and measured from the time the head completely crossed the waterline until the first wall contact
FPeak (N)	Maximum Force against the wall-mounted force plate
aWCT (%)	Active part of the WCT (see Figure 3)
5mOUT (s)	Duration from push-off from the wall until 5 m-out of the wall
