Fly Over Starts are also called Dive Over Starts.
When all swimmers in a heat finish swimming, they will stay in the water, move to the corner of the lane and remain stationary until after the next heat has started. When directed by the officials, all swimmers will exit the water as quickly as possible, either at the end of the lane or move to the side to the ladders.
While waiting in the water, please remain as still as possible with your legs hanging straight down. Please do not talk.
Dive Over Starts save about 30 seconds per heat. With 180 to 200 heats per day, this can save lots of time. They are not used for Backstroke or for Relays.
