I don't know what that girl at the end was thinking! Reminds me of the swimmers in public swimming sessions.
Do you have any tips for starting off regular pads (no wedges, as they aren't usually available in competitions? I used to have a reasonable start, but I'm older and heavier than I used to be, and now I can't pull myself completely out of the water. The higher I try to get, the more chance there seems to be of my feet slipping as I push. Should I bend my legs more and get my hips closer to the wall, or bend my legs less and try to keep my hips away from the wall, during the setup? Also, I find looking up helps keep my feet planted. Do you have links to pictures/videos that demonstrate the best form, or is it down to experimenting with what works for me?

I always struggle with the backstroke start. Also I have never practiced it this way (illegally. Oh well, I will have to wait for our pool to be set up with starting blocks as we are now in long course season.

I suck at backstroke.
Don't you just hate it when you're doing a backstroke then someone pass by flipping the water. and there is you choking the water
