Starting Block Annoyance

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.

    Going swimming with drugs? Drinking and swimming simultaneously? I guess it must have happened for the Y to view that as a threat. Seems pretty far-fetched. What if you pop your pills or fling down a half pint of Jack and then hustle into the pool...
