    Ande,

    Nice 100. How are reaction times measured? I have no idea.

    RTs are measured using pads that sit on top of the starting blocks and measure the time between the starter's beep and when there is no longer pressure on the pad.

    Also those are used for getting relay splits which is the time between when the incoming swimmer triggers the pad and the outgoing swimmer leaves the block (i.e. is no longer apply pressure to the pad).

    I think the acceptable lower limit is -.03, anything lower results in a DQ.

    Thanks Paul. That is quite different from track where after the gun the pressure sensitive blocks measure how long it takes to apply pressure (significant) to them. If pressure is applied prior to 0.1 sec, the runner is given a false start.

    Hey Rtodd,
    thank you, I was a little disappointed with it, felt I could go faster. Need to work on splitting and have more on the last 50

    Hey Paul,
    Good Answer
