Balancing on the blocks...

Now that I have aged a few years since active competition I have found myself very unsteady on the starting blocks.  Any suggestions for this 65 year old.  Maybe some exercises or balancing stretches?

    in terms of stretching, I stretch after each swim. For starts, I think particular emphasis on hamstring stretches is useful. For balance, I practice standing on one leg, a couple of times a week, first with eyes open, and then with eyes closed. I can’t stand very long on one leg with eyes closed, but I’m working on it.
