Answer 2

This website is good, it expains all starts and the turns for every stroke:

http://www.geocities.com/Colosseum/Arena...

This is also a good link:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sportacademy/hi/sa...

This is a website for starts:

http://www.specialolympics.org/Special+O...

Thsi is a good video to show you how to do turns, but you need to ignore some of them, and it does go on for a bit:

These are all the same man (i think):

This is a good video of a backstroke start:

This is a video of a breastroke start:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=sFJJNzno_lM

This is a butterfly start:

And last but not least... A freestyle start:

I hope those videos and links are good and help you a lot. I think the videos are good because they have a bit of coaching at the beginning.

I hope ive helped.

Good luck!
