I told her, “The fact that you left the block prematurely means you were at your edge. “Every swimmer on every team has been disqualified at some point,” Eleanor said. “I’m sure your coach will help you practice your starts before the next meet,” her mom said, “and you’ll figure out exactly when to spring off the block so that you don’t waste a second but you don’t dive too early either.
