Warm-Up &
Starting
Procedures
POINTS FOR WARM UP PERIOD:
No diving in lanes until the lane is cleared for one-direction swimming only. Start all
swimmers in lanes at the starting end of the pool.
Coaches shall stand at the starting end of the pool when verbally starting swimmers on
sprint or pace work. 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.
