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.

  • A lawyer vs. an insurance agent......kind of like godzilla vs. mothra. You don't care who wins, and you know a lot of stuff is going to get broken before the end of the movie. Bring it on. Where is jimmy the greek when you need him. Aw, if you don't care, why are you readin'?:thhbbb: I somehow don't think that Geek is an "agent" though ... We got Cruise; we don't need no Jimmy the Greek. Peter: I did notice that the Geek crawled out of his cave on the "Biggest Loser" thread, claiming that scyfreestyler typed the first "quality" post in a long while. Having just read portions of the closed "The Fastest Age" thread, I think we're now all a tame lot compared to the prior "vicious vulpine vituperation" on this forum. We're probably boring him.
