Bad imitations of successful pool designs.
At the Dad's Club in Houston, they built a bad copy of the Mexico City Olympic pool. The Mexico pool had a molded plastic screen in front of some very deep gutters, so water was shaved off and then dropped into oblivion, producing a fast result for the era. At the Dad's Club, someone saved some money and used shallow gutters and -get this - a perforated metal screen. The holes were about pinky sized. Woe to those whose wingspan wandered.
