Answer 1

Hold completely still until that gun goes off, but when it does throw your arms out and push off the block as fast as you can.  Also, have you toes curled over the edge of the block to get a better push off.  Also, if you can try to quickly look up when you are in the air, this will help you go farther out in the water.  And don't forget to hold a tight stream line under the water with fast dolphin kicks, but don't stay under too long.  Come out of the water with a fast break out stroke with your arms! good luck:)

Answer 2

streamline off the blocks and remember, head down and dont get dqed. for backstroke, keep one foot below the water line, just in case you slip. on the signal "take your marks", pull your body up and on the start kick off and streamline. good luck

Answer 3

Try to throw yourself up and out and follow  that up with a clean entry.
