Note the sign behind the starting block. This is at the Beaufort, South Carolina pool where I am currently visiting.
I also got a chuckle out of this:

Ya gotta love that pooch's dorsal fin and goggles! :D
I remember a Y pool in the Florida panhandle in the '80's at which we had an annual meet that the blocks were into water less than three feet deep. I was terrified every time I started from those. Fortunately, I never had any incident nor did anyone at any meet I attended.
In the late 50's, early 60's we were taught to do a flat start, almost belly flops. We didn't have anything to grab on the starts, so they tended not to go very deep.
