[@supernoodles908]

Because you're anticipating the start and not reacting. You're not supposed to move on the block. The rules are the rules

[@derekmills5394]

A good starter, on observing a swimmer strugging to stay up, will stand down the swimmers. If you fall in after that then you are generally allowed a second chance. You can hear this done in some junior races on this clip. Another way to get a second chance is if there was an equipment malfunction, error by the starter or external noise that might be confused for the start signal. The last clip was ruled to have such a noise hence the second chance. In all other cases, enter the water before the signal and you are out. Same if you beat the start by a fraction of a second but all other swimmers are judged to have started fairly - then the race continues and early swimmer is disqualified. National referee.

If the starter says "Stand please," no swimmer can be charged with a false start.

[@stt5v2002]

It isn't a false start if they say "stand please" and you jump in. This announcement is typically given when the starter is not ready or there is an issue with equipment or with the other swimmers who are in / around the pool (often one forgets to wait for the next race to start and begins to get out). At the serious levels of competition, any movement after "take your mark" is a false start. That rule is generally not applied little kids, who often fidget around on the block. Typical starting systems use a randomizer to sound the starting tone. The starter says "take your mark". When all swimmers are set, the starter presses a button and the tone / flash goes off some time within the next second.

[@p0neh1]

It's not necessarily any movement after the "take your mark". Many people are standing up on the blocks then reach down after take your marks to get into position. Things like muscle twitches etc are permitted, as long as it's not seen as being an initation of the start.

It's cause as a swimmer, during your start, right when you hear the beep, you want to dive off. It sucks because the next loud noise we hear, we get the instinct to go.

That's why the swimmer in last clip got reinstated - tape was played back and an external sound could be heard

[@jjy4824]

I feel like there should be a long pause that's like over 3 seconds before the beep plays. Every swimmer expects it to play under 3 seconds before the announcer calls to take your mark. But it's so easy to react to anything in those mere moments, and I feel if the pause is longer, the swimmers would react properly to the beep.

[@nick-st7jx]

Nah, then you’ll wait for too long, and THEN you will most likely think some other noise is the beep. The real solution is to have an audio recording play through the speaker so that it is always the same amount of time between the “take your mark” and the beep.

[@defaultyorker6096]

My best guess is that the rule came about purely because a swimmer could - in theory - commit a false start without realising and have no way of finding out as they can’t hear under water. But in track events, the athletes are told with another gun shot or siren that there was a false start and they can begin again. Thus, they can take less than a minute to start from the beginning. That is, before they banned second chances in athletics. But a swimmer may swim the whole race not knowing they false started and therefore they surely can’t begin the whole race again, so they only give the swimmer one chance. I know there’s lots of inconsistencies, but I reckon that will be why.

Intentional false starting was becoming too common at top level to unsettle others or maybe get a 'perfect' start so the second chance option was removed
