How does each Olympic relay swimmer know when to go into the pool?
You must look down at the wall and your feet cannot leave the starting block until the other swimmer's hand touches the wall. That is why the lane judge walks up next to the starting block and watches to see the swimmers hand touch the wall in order to make sure the next swimmer does not leave early.

How is swimming played differently in the paralympics?
Able bodied swimming and dissability swimming is different as where people have missing limbs extra, the rules that apply in able bodied swimming cannot apply in dissability swimming. For example, on butterfly and breaststroke, the swimmer must touch each wall with both hands, but in a dissability meet, the swimmer would not be able to do this if they only hadhalf anarm. However the swimmer still has to push their half arm foreward as if they were going to touch the wall, but once their other handhas touched, they can turn. Hope this answered your question :)
