I have one that may fall in this category....
Okay. This is old school and possibly totally wrong now, but I like to do this.
....... before the start I briskly wipe the top of my starting block with both hands to get rid of splash water on it.
It is supposed to sensitize the hands for better feel of the water and sharpen you up a bit.
It's probably more of a nervous habit/ritual at this point.
