Okay, yesterday while I went to the pool to swim laps, I decided to be a little adventurous and check out a starter block for my lane.
When I (shakily) got on the block, I knew the starting position, but I'm having difficulty jumping off with distance for a good start. I usually belly flop or end up just "jumping" off of it.
Any pointers?
I'd like to know how to properly get off a starter block without busting my belly or getting seriously hurt.
Thanks!

Cool! I'll definitely take a look at that. Since I've registered with Masters, I've been determined to start competing soon, but what's a meet without a good start? I was so embarrassed yesterday when I flipped and flopped off of that starter block that words could not describe how mortified I was after practicing on my starts.
Thanks for all your responces!
Keep 'em coming!
