Everyone seems to be doing "track starts" off the block now - one leg behind the other. How and why do you do this? I haven't been in a meet for a long time...back then everyone did the "grab start". Any instructions on doing a track start would be appreciated.

One advantage is your body is getting forward motion sooner. Some of the blocks have track start ledges for the rear foot, which I would like to try. Then again I'd like to have a ledge underwater for my backstroke start too.
