[quote=Anonymous]As an experienced official in USA Swimming, many parents (and coaches and officials) don’t know the proper definition of a false start, which is a DQ. Falling in the water isn’t if the swimmer isn’t set. So in race 1, swimmer is set and the goes in the water prior to the start, false start. Swimmer 2 falls in never getting set, no FS/DQ. I’ve never not DQ’ed a kid because of their age because in the in, it punishes the kids who did it properly. But many 6 and younger me never truly get set, but starter will send them anyways. I have too as starter, considering I’d still be waiting for some littles to get set…you get them the best you can and send them. Benefit of the doubt goes to the swimmer. [/quote]
