There are two main different starts that are commonly used among top competitive swimmers:
the track start and the conventional grab start. The one you choose is fully based on personal
preference and what you are trying to achieve. First key part of the start is the stand a swimmer
takes on the block. This research try to answer the question: Which way is the best to improve the
time of 100m breast style, a track start or a grab starting to use? Study carry out on subjects of 5
elite breast style Iraqi swimmers.
It’s revealed that Performance in the start is strongly related to overall swim performance. And
it is unclear whether particular postures on the blocks such as those used for grab and track starts
and their variants yield an advantage compared to the others.
