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.

Thanks all. If I DQ will they still give me a time...? Although it won't count. It will for me internally. OK I'll watch when the others get on the block I will too and hoock my toes.
Just as a note, my back may prevent a grab. What is the set just toes over or holding the lip too? This could be a problem. I normally (at training) just touch ankles and fly.
FYI: I won't be wearing a cap, noseclip, or shaving beyond a #1 on my razor (more of a vanity shave than anything else LOL) :laugh2:
