I am working out in a pool that does not have blocks, so obviously I time myslef from a push start.My question is:what should I expect my times to be if I start from blocks vs. push off the wall, what is the time difference between the two?

American Swim Coaches Assosiation generally recognises the difference between a block start and a on deck start as one second. Between two and two seconds difference from a block start to a water push off.
Your results may vary:D
Someone with a good streamlines pushoff can keep up with a poor block start:D
There are also people with great block starts who can gain over 3 seconds over someone pushing off. When I was less heavy:mad: and working out and squatting 1000 pounds, I was in that catagory. I could beat the best freestyle starters with my breaststroke start. Sure wish I could do that again:(
