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.

    . He said the rec center was beginning to worry about being sued by a noodler for failure to lose weight. Seriously. i suppose if this class was advertised as a guaranteed weight loss program, they would have a good case. anyway, its probably better if they leave the pool clear for swimming and noodle on deck.
