New Starting Blocks?

track athletes get to use starting blocks why not swimmers track starting blocks have a much steeper slope than the back end of those omega blocks I learned an interesting fact about the starting blocks at UT blocks on the north end have 7 degree slope blocks on the south end have a a 10 degree slope when the bulkheads are down they put the 7 degree blocks on them the bulkheads are built with a 3 degree slope so when you put the 7 degree blocks on the 3 degree bulkhead you have the effect of 10 degree blocks which is the current legal limit I wish fina rules would allow starting blocks or toes over the edge for backstroke starts or better yet, let us dive in forward then roll over underwater.
