Effective May 1, 2009, USA Swimming’s Board of Directors has modified the racing start rule, 103.2.2 (which already provides that racing starts should only be taught in at least six feet of water) to further clarify that racing starts should only be taught under the direct supervision of a USA Swimming member coach, and to expand the definition of teaching racing starts to make clear that no swimmer who has not been certified as proficient by his or her coach should be performing racing starts into less than six feet of water.

103.2  WATER DEPTH
.1   /NC/2 meters (6 feet 7 inches) deep throughout the course.
.2   /M/Teaching Racing Starts – Minimum water depth for teaching racing starts in any setting from any height starting blocks or the deck shall be 6 feet (1.84 meters) measured for a distance of 3 feet 3 ½ inches (1.0 meter) to 16 feet 5 inches (5.0 meters) from the end wall.  (effective February 15, 2007)
                  “Teaching racing starts” shall include:
                  1)   all racing start instruction until a swimmer has been certified by his or her USA Swimming member coach as proficient in performing a racing start, and
                  2)   all instruction, subsequent to certification, which seeks to alter a swimmer’s basic technique in performing a racing start.
Teaching racing starts shall only take place under the direct supervision of a USA Swimming member coach.
