How do I improve my reaction time on my start?

My start is really slow, and my coach says I dont get off the block fast enough, and it's adding about .3 to my time. I swim the 50 and 100 free, so the start is important. How can improve my reaction time so i can drop time?

    I suggest doing plyometrics exercises it helps boost your explosive power which well help you get off the block faster.
