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.

  • We can go back to starting blocks issue or the incessant kising up that is pervasive on this forum lately. Alternatively, we can have further exposure of igorance on insurance matters, which is actually more entertaining. I myself have been suffering from un-Mindful neural imprinting defects recently. So you must be referring (among others) to your buddy Gull, formerly Gull80, who apparently is quite busy Mindfully honing his technique to do some guitar smashing in March. But you're probably right. This is much more entertaining. I'll tell you how you're wrong about legal matters, and you can continue to correct my ignorance on insurance matters. How much insurance must pools take out to permit us the luxury of swimming in them? And why do we have to bother to sign waivers to swim at masters meets if they're worthless?
