I've plowed into the corner of the penninsula at another pool and even going slow YES it hurts. I got a bruise about 4" x 8" on the tip of my shoulder. Between that, ladders and a slide it was a rough summer since the outside lanes didn't have a lanerope.
I wonder if somebody makes swim crash helmet or curb feelers ? Apparently my sonar isn't good enough.
Why don't you (all in similar situations) ask the pool management
(or whoever/whatever plays that role) to get a small gallows-like stand with a tennis ball or something that will act like an approach warning. (Kind of like the landing-ball on aircraft carriers? As you backstrokers (if you really don't want to switch) approach the corner, the ball could be too far to the right or to the left and you would/could have enough distance left to the "ouch" zone to make a quick adjustment?
