1. The ornamental design for a starting platform top for a swimmer, as shown and described.

The starting platform top for a swimmer can be mounted on a base, stand, or pedestal, at one end of a swimming pool. A starting platform top for a swimmer is used to position a swimmer in a starting position for a race.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a starting platform top for a swimmer, as taken from an upper, front, right side vantage;

FIG. 2 is a front view thereof;

FIG. 3 is a side view thereof, as taken from the right side, the left side being a mirror image of the right side;

FIG. 4 is a back view thereof;

FIG. 5 is a top view thereof; and,

FIG. 6 is a bottom view thereof.

The broken lines shown in FIG. 6 show the boundaries of the claimed design. Both the broken line itself and the unshaded region framed by the broken lines do not form part of the claimed design.
