I've done only 2 pool starts, and they were both time trial starts (i.e. only one person starts at a time, every 10-15 seconds or so). They are chip timed. The lanes are only one way traffic: you go down one lane, duck under the rope, and come back the other way in the next lane.

or they do it in waves up to 4 per lane in some races..
I've heard tons about open water starts, but nothing about pool starts. Is it the same mass frenzy sort of thing, do people stick to their own lanes???? Am I going to have to worry about crashing head on into someone else? My first tri is in May and it's in a pool. I figured it would be less intimidating and also hopefully a bit warmer (I'm in New England).
