In competitive swimming, how many 'false start' warning are there?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 0.
In swimming, there are zero false start warnings allowed. Any false start results in an immediate disqualification of the swimmer. According to the rules set by swimming governing bodies such as FINA, if a swimmer leaves the starting block before the official signal, it is considered a false start, and they are disqualified without any prior warning. This strict rule helps maintain fairness and ensures that all swimmers start the race under the same conditions.
