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:

I teach the kids on my team both starts and then evaluate from there. Some of them are really slow and give up too much power by doing the track start, so they do the other. Others are just so quick that the grab start doesn't make sense for them. I think it just depends on the person.
