Practicing Racing Starts

Start with 3 strokes

Build up to 10s

Ensure you include starts in your race warmup

Set a target race rate you want to hit - and make sure you do it

Practice the first 3 strokes - they are slower than you think.

Before doing starts in training - do some power strokes to get in the mindset of working hard.
