The racing start:

Most top swimmers use the grab start to get their race underway.

This start gets you moving off the blocks quickly and gets you into the water smoothly.

Races are often won by tenths and hundredths of seconds.

It is important to get the race started as soon as the signal is given in competitions.

The starter will not start the race until everybody is ready and still.

This is really important because you could get disqualified if you fell in before the start, or if you were slow getting ready.
