You must look down at the wall and your feet cannot leave the starting block until the other swimmer's hand touches the wall. That is why the lane judge walks up next to the starting block and watches to see the swimmers hand touch the wall in order to make sure the next swimmer does not leave early.

The most common way is to stand 3/4 from the front of the block and wait for the swimmer to come. When the swimmer gets to the "T" at the end of the pool the swimmer on the block dives in over the swimmer in the water.

What are the people doing at the pool's edge watching in Olympic swimming?

Those are stroke judges. They make sure each swimmer is swimming with correct technique. There are many rules about each stroke, and if a swimmer is doing an illegal technique they can be Disqualified Things that can get you disqualified include: Touching the bottom of the pool Touching the lane line False Start Preforming the stroke wrong (doing a freestyle kick during a breaststroke race, etc) Staying underwater too long after the wall (That's what the colors on the lane lines are are marking) Not touching with both hands on every turn (in breaststroke and butterfly) Taking more than one kick per stroke (in breaststroke) Turning over too early (in Backstroke) But olympic swimmers know better than to do any of those things, of course
