Why can't swimmers go on planes after swimming?

Swimmers certainly can go on a plane after swimming, although I suppose they'd prefer to dry off and get dressed first. Only cause for concern would be if they've gotten water in their ears, which might interfere with their ability to equalize the pressure as the plane climbs. Divers OTOH, should be real careful about flying soon after a dive. Unless they're fully recovered from the dive the pressure drop at ascent can trigger decompression sickness.

Why in swim meets do you dive of swim blocks?

You dive off the blocks at swim meets because it is faster. When you dive off of them you get more momentum rather than just pushing off the wall. Also it gives the crowd a chance to see all the competitors and what school and lane they represent rather than in the pool.
