My start is relatively flat (I don't do a belly smack or anything like that), it just needs some work - was wondering how does one accomplish a start like this (it's easier for me to have someone describe what to do with my body rather than actually see it done)...

I'd like to add that fast "arching of the back" into my start.
Thanks!

Sarah,
Boy, if there were a way for you to post your start on youtube, please do it. The person doing this start, although it looked pretty sound, I noticed from the color of the lane lines they didn't seem to "get" very far out when they enterted the water, unless the video wasn't clear.
I do know that many lunge off the blocks; using their legs to thrust them forward but their upper body (head and shoulders) are responsible for the angle and degree of the entry.
