Answer 1

Sorry, I can't help you with this one.

Answer 2

I don't know what a stride dive is but a stride jump is when you leap into the water scissoring your legs and pressing your arms from a spread wide position down into the water.  When you jump in lean forward and keep the chin up. The idea is to keep your head above water so you could potentially keep an eye on a drowning victim.  Hope that's what you meant.
