My pool does not allow any diving so all my times are based on starting in the water. I've been trying to figure out how much time (if any) a dive would shave off my times. Anybody have any idea? Say I swim the 50 in :30, what's your guess as to what the time would be if I could dive at the start?

You won't really know until you do it. It depends on how good your start is, whether you shave or wear a special suit, and how you usually time yourself with a pace clock. And of course we can't forget psychological factors, as aquageek mentioned in reference to me. By the way, geek, I often do about a 24 in practice and my best race is a 21. Super psych up, indeed.
