There are also advantages during novice swim meets, when you might not want newer or younger swimmers using a track start wedge.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_275829\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-275829\" data-attachment-id=\"275829\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/sr-smith-announces-new-dual-post-starting-platforms\/sr-3\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/SR-3.jpeg\" data-orig-size=\"1280,852\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"S.R.-Smith-starting-blocks\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;S.R.-Smith&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: S.R.
