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 used the standard start (feet together) when I swam 25 years ago. My current coach has me doing the racing start and I am beginning to like it. Once you are in the air duck your head and the goggles should stay on. My first meet in 25 years was last month. I forgot to 'duck' on the first race and swam *** with my goggles around my mouth. I remembered to 'duck' after that and my other races went much better.
