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.
Unless the start is going to save me 1-2 seconds (or more) ...
I became a convert after nationals last spring, while breaking out after a grab start in the 100 free. It's not a race I swim often, nor particularly well these days, but in any case I figured I shouldn't be more than half a body length behind the guy next to me after the start.
