I am doing a beginner tri next month, which has a pool start. Do pool starts typically begin with a swim dive into the water? Just wondering if I need to practice my dive. Any other tips would be greatly appreciated!

Seems like pool tris are fairly rare, but the ones I have done all started in the water. JC

... you don't get a lane each, you know! With 3 or 4 already in the lane, diving in could have pretty dire consequences

The only one that I ever did, I split a lane with one other swimmer.
I think there were 12 people in each wave and the waves went off every 12 minutes. 500 yard swim. You had 10 minutes to complete your swim, or they pulled you out to an additional lane. I don't know what happened there.

I know that I'll be doing 16 laps, up and down each of eight lanes. I guess I'll need to practice doing flip turns where I end up in the next lane.

Good point...I hadn't thought of that! I'm glad I don't have to do a dive...as I suck at that..
Thanks all for the helpful comments.
