Legal relay exchange?

So here's a crazy idea for relay exchanges for swimming.. Lay a towel right by the deck so when the swimmer is finishing his leg, the guy going next does a running start and dives right off the deck. Is it legal? :banana:

  • This is certainly the rule they would use to DQ you for attempting a running start: I've heard of running-start relays in swimming but I've never actually seen it happen. I think anyone who is considering it should clear it with the referee and the lifeguard before doing it. At some facilities, there is simply no way to do this safely.
