I was hoping to see a change where the official is allowed to hold a coach's head underwater until he stops struggling as a warning before a T.

Oh well. Maybe next year.

"By using the term stationary, a competitor cannot be disqualified by a twitching hamstring, something he or she can't control, but continues to not allow movement by the swimmers once in the starting position," Oakes said.

I wonder if anyone with Tourette's ever challenged this rule.

Do you think coaches ever get in the officials ears in diving or swimming?

How much does a swimming official get paid?

Can you see the swimming official delaying the meet, over at the table checking the instant replay to see if a swimmer left the block early, or used an illegal kick, or illegally touched the wall, or had an illegal swimsuit........ :confused:

I would be surprised if there isn't some discussion of video replay to check a swimmer leaving the block early.
