The Rec Center I occasionally swim at has starting blocks. I am aware that is a swim device that I am supposed to use once in awhile. The pool is very deep and used for daily swim team practice and some meets. Yet, there is always a bright yellow cone placed on the blocks during lap swimming hours. No one may use the starting blocks at this time. I find it irritating. No one could possibly get hurt unless they were especially idiotic. I guess they're worried about lawsuits. I saw someone doing backstroke starts once, but who wants to do those? This practice will discourage me from ever entering a non-OW event.
One is if you slip and scrape all the skin off the front of your shins on the front of the blocks.
I'm sure I could do this. :rofl:
My rec center pool is 10-12 feet deep at the starting block end. Still no starts even if the lanes are empty. I'm not even sure that those drawing wolf whistles would be exempt from this rule... Maybe they could limit use to adults in unoccupied lanes who sign a waiver?
