This is a summary of a recent research paper on starts. They feel that the entry and glide phase are more important than the block and air phase.
The worst piece of news for me was the statement: "There are indications that, regardless of the posture used, intensive practice of dive starts results in significant improvement even among experienced competitive swimmers."
Unfortunately, most of the pools I've been to don't allow swimmers to use the blocks during their practices.
