With apologies to the 2013 Pan American Masters Swimming Championships for continuing this off topic posting…
Online registration will close at midnight EDT on April 30, 2013.On Topic:D
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.
My advice is to explain your condition to the deck referee and ask if it is okay to step up early. If the ref says no, then at the long whistle, step up and take as much time as you need to safely get into a ready position. The referee shouldn’t turn the heat over to the starter until all swimmers are ready.
I have known refs who will stand down a heat if they get up too early. And a few have threatened to DQ swimmers, but I haven’t seen them do it…yet.
