Swimstud needs start advice.

Ok we all agree a bad dive will ruin my SwimStud reputationand turn me into SwimTwit...so, do I have this right? I'm serious even though I am being humourous...it's been a quarter century folks... 1) They tell us when to get on the blocks ( I should not flex to the others right?) 2) "On your marks" toes can go over the edge. 3) "Get set" do the grab 3a) False start 4) "Go" Jump off half a beat behind b/c of worrying about another FS and DQ 5) Swim well 6) Smile at the finish whether I come in last or first in my heat. Rich 1) You can flex for intimidation when you get on the blocks ;) 2) "On your marks" & "get set" are usually combined - toes over edge and grab 3) You won't false start as you will be prepared by watching on the previous races how long it is between when the starter says "on your marks" and when the horn blows. 4) Swim well 5) Smile at the finish whether or not you come in first in your heat 6) HAVE FUN and enjoy every minute of it :groovy:
