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.

You can always ask the ref to go over the whistle starts. Also, if you don't swim the first race, watch the ref and the swimmers so you know the sequence.
