I think a rule should be written where you get DQ'd for clapping, slapping etc once you have been called on to the block. Biggest offenders are Volmer, Phelps and Cielo (though Cielo doesn't usually do it on the blocks.) Thoughts...

I doubt the other swimmers really even notice. You're so focused, especially at that level, on what you're going to be doing you're not really paying attention to anyone else. At least in my experience.
