I recently posted a question about racing and received a lot of great answers so here is another question. I am about to participate in my first race (in a pool) and I am worried about being disqualified now. What are some of the common mistakes I need to be aware of? Turns maybe?
Of course, in most smaller meets, you're lucky to have a referee, a starter, and a couple of stroke & turn judges, and the roles are all mixed together!

In addition...lucky to see radios for all that as well. Heck, I've never seen the radios thing used at bigger meets either. The DQ slips just come thru the referee back to the coaches tables minutes later.
