Best Answer

whistle In swimming, the race actually begins with a beep from a starting system after the command take your mark.

The referee turns control over to the starter with a long whistle. But the whistle does not start the race normally.

When the electronic starting system malfunctions, a blank gun or whistle can be used to signal the start of the race.
