see you at the starting blocks

Explanation:
Visto che si parla di nuoto... Direi che il traguardo per un nuotatore sono proprio i blocchi di partenza!

neutral

James (Jim) Davis: Ma Glinda, il traguardo è il punto di arrivo, non il punto di partenza, o c'è qualcosa di strano nella terminologia di nuoto in italiano?

21 mins

-> Beh, considera le gare di nuoto e le varie vasche che percorrono; se non sbaglio alla fine si ritrovano proprio da dove si sono tuffati (escludendo la gara dei 50 m, s'intende). Per evitare confusione, magari si potrebbe dire solo 'see you at the blocks'.

neutral

Oliver Lawrence: The 'starting blocks' are at the beginning; the question asked about the 'arrivo'. The 50m race doesn't finish at the beginning (it's only 1 length).

10 days

-> Yes, I know, and I replied as such to Jim. However, we don't know which type of competition we're talking about here, so I thought what the heck, let's give this answer already and see if it fits the asker's situation ;-)
