Horn Start Overview
Every heat in swimming has a start. The rule book states, “The starter should be on
a separate system that is designed specically to provide clear and simultaneous
instructions at each of the starting platforms.” In addition to needing something to start
each heat, many teams train for starts during practice.
A typical beginning of a race starts with the referee or assistant referee getting the
athletes’ attention, then turning control of them over to the start ofcial. The start
ofcial instructs the competitors to “Step-up” for a forward start, or “Place your feet” for
a backstroke start. The competitors should step into place without excessive noise or
movement. The start ofcial may give brief instructions as deemed necessary. Then, the
start ofcial commands, “Take your mark.” Each swimmer, with no unnecessary noise
or movement, immediately assumes the desired starting position. Once the start ofcial
sees that the swimmers have taken their position uniformly and are motionless, the signal
is given to start the race. The purpose of this is to insure that no competitor has an unfair
advantage by intimidation, position, jump or delay.
Daktronics has developed a start system that ensures reliability and fair starts for all. Its
straightforward design produces a loud sound, bright visual strobe and precise electronic
signal. The HS-200 is a portable unit that comes standard with an internal rechargeable
battery, power pack, 360° strobe, 30’ (9.1 m) start cable, 15’ (4.6 m) microphone cable
and microphone. Several other options are available, including the backstroke agpole-
mounting bracket, auxiliary speakers, individual lane speakers, wireless microphone,
remote strobe and start cables to connect to other brands of timing systems, including
CTS, Omega, and IST.
