Is off the side of the pool better than nothing at all for practicing starts?
The pool I practice in has no start blocks.
Learning how to dive start here.
Thanks
Unless you're a sprinter it doesn't make that much difference. I recently got beat handily in the mile by a swimmer who started on the deck.
Sort of like distance runners starting on the line and sprinters starting in the blocks....
The key to starts is practice, practice, practice.
