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.

Just to emphasize a point Poolraat made, when the whistle blows to step up on the blocks you should position your feet with your toes over the edge, i.e. you should not wait until on your marks to do this. In fact the referee won't turn control over to the starter until all the swimmers have their feet in position.
