Coaches please remind swimmers that breaststrokers need more lead time than freestylers or flyers. Backstrokers should be reminded of the danger of leaving simultaneously with someone on the block. No one should be allowed on the block until the backstroker has executed his/her start.
Coaches should maintain as much contact with their swimmers as possible, coaches have the same responsibility for supervision as when on deck at practice.
Starts will follow the “Whistle Start” and “No False Start” recall procedure. Whistle chirps from the referee signal swimmers to get behind the block. One (1) long whistle from referee is the swimmer's signal to step up/in. Referee then turns over to Starter with outstretched arm, and the Starter indicates “Take Your Mark.” Upon observing swimmers motionless, starter gives the signal. If one or more swimmers leave(s) early, NO RECALL signal is given. Swimmers are notified of DQs for False Starts at the end of the race.
