So many swimmers use different styles in getting off those starting blocks. Which are you? The Racing Start start, or the standard, feet together start?
And why do you use what you do? Any pluses? And, any tips for keeping those goggles on?

I started using the "track start" about 2 years ago. I use it because it is what my coach taught me. Before that in the few meets I did I used the standard start. I don't think I did it very good. I was told it was "thunderous" and splashy. I've never had problems with the goggles (now that I've said that I'll probably lose them next time). I just have the straps a bit tighter than my workout pair and I make sure I have a good seal around the eyes.
