timing pads or touchpads Explanation: From the context, I think that the term "plaques" means "plaques de touches" or de "chronometrage", and are the pad that the swimmers touch to activate the electronic timing devices. Reference: http://www.csi.org/officials/Timing_tm.htm |

starting block Explanation: "sortir par le plaques...": the swimmers have to come out of the swimming pool somehow, and sometimes it is possible to come out that way without using the ladder. What is the monopalme, by the way? Cheers, Paola L.M. |
