...of momentum, think about relay starts for a second.
You should carry as much momentum off the block as possible, right?
How do you build maximum momentum?
Remember that momentum is the product of mass and velocity.
Since there's no way to increase mass while on the starting block, relay starts are all about velocity. A slow arm swing and/or slow step doesn't do the job.
Generate more momentum with greater arm speed and a faster step.
The Texas All Stars show how it's done in this old Floswimming video. Brendan Hansen and Garrett Weber-Gale built plenty of momentum with fast arm swings.
