  • for the "track start" at 0:15, you're not supposed to lean back. By leaning as far forward as possible, gravity starts your momentum forward until you can spring up and outward off the block.

    I've some of this guy's other videos and they suck. Why do eHow and ExpertVillage ALWAYS SUCK??

  • for momentum

  • @ThePVGS1 unfair atvantage...you swim faster underwater when your dolphinkicking than you just swimming

  • the guys that do the 100 meter dash have been messing up forever...they should have been leaning back so they can transfer all their momentum forward...where does this guy coach, anyway?

  • Why would you be DQ'ed?

  • um wha?

  • Roland Schoeman, best start in the sport - doesn't pull back like an age group swimmer trying to immitate phelps.

  • um no. you should pull back it gives you more power..

  • i like how he talks about starting off a block, then he does a deck start.

  • hah, whatever man

  • Whatever you say, champ.
