Our previous discussions on Sprint Swimmer height and the now, universal use of the track start, have been re-affirmed in this year's NCAA 50 free championships.
Cesar Cielo-6'4"
Matt Target 6'6"
Ben Wildman-Tobriner 6'4"
Albert Subirats ??? Anyone have any idea of his height?
Scott Goodrich 6'3"
Brian Lundquist 6'4"
From the photo I saw, everyone used the track start in this, the fastest race of all. Therefore, the track start is the fastest start.:thhbbb:
LOL! Really Old School swimmers are still doing the windmill, from which I switched to grab/track (haven't chosen one yet) only two years ago.
Thanks for pointing this out because I was wondering why the grab start is called the grab start. What confused me is that You "grab" in the track start , too. Now I see the grab start name was to differentiate it from the windmill start where you didn't actually grab the block.
