New Starting Blocks?

track athletes get to use starting blocks why not swimmers I wish fina rules would allow starting blocks or toes over the edge for backstroke starts or better yet, let us dive in forward then roll over underwater. Ande, You have access to some of the world's best coaches and swimmers. I wonder what the Reese's would say about this thread. I would wager a bet, that they would side with the argument of faster times are good and change is a necessity, as long as it is within the rules. Good bye, this is giving me a headache.
