[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is crazy to me that they let kids dive into such shallow water in this area. Where I grew up they stopped letting us do it in the mid 90s. The second and fourth leg of the 100 medley relay started in the water. A girl I grew up with dove in and hit her head and became paralyzed from the waist down. This was a freak accident years after the rule change. She was a very good swimmer and lifeguard. It was a freak accident that can happen to anyone in shallow water, even if you know how to do a shallow dive. I wish they would just ban it.[/quote] Freak accidents are just that. There’s no way you can make all sports 100% safe from any chance of injury. In my 10 years at Pinecrest, we’ve never had a major incident involving the shallow dive end. We’ve had two minor incidents that required nothing more than ice. [/quote]
