How do they start the races in the Olympics?

Answer 1

I'm going to assume you are just confused by the different "events" and that there may be different ways to win because honestly... you win by being faster than everyone else. After all, it is a "race". Having said that, there are a lot of different "events" when it comes to swimming, each different based on the "stroke" and the distance you swim. But you win them all the same way, touching the wall before everyone else.

Answer 2

pretty much the same its started in any meet swimmers step up on the block, go down then they hear a beep and then they jump off the block with arms forward into a streamline position

Answer 3

Their are only two races that start in the water. Any backstroke event and any length medley relay (which starts with backstroke too)

Answer 4
