FINA SWIMWEAR RULES

Protocol ...
2 When the last swimmer is 5-10 yards from the wall the referee blows the short series of whistles (get ready) for the next heat
3 The Starter calls the heat
4 Just before the last swimmer touches, the referee blows a long whistle for the swimmers in the next heat to step up.
I have big problems with balance. If I try to climb up on the block too quickly, I can easily lose my balance and fall in. So, instead of waiting for the long whistle, I start crawling onto the block when the referee blows the short whistles. This gives me enough time to get up and set, without falling in.
Nobody has ever said anything to me about it, but I guess it is a violation of protocol. Can you get deeked for getting on the blocks too early?
