[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the PP who first commented that this is unsafe. I’m glad at least one other person agrees. The reasoning that it’s fine because this is how it’s been done for a long time is insane. We live in a different era than when these old pools were built. We update rules when we know better. If a pool has a “no diving” sign in its shallow end, it’s not a good idea for swim team kids to be diving in there over and over. It only takes one bad dive for a tragedy. Not every kid on the swim team has a good shallow dive. Even the ones that do, their back foot can slip and all of a sudden they go much deeper than planned.

I have thought for years that NVSL is crazy. I guess it’s still true. [/quote]

Then have your kid scratch.  There’s no one making your kid participate but you.[/quote]
Forest for the trees. Having kids dive into 2.5 feet of water is unsafe, period. The answer isn’t to pull your kid if you don’t like it, the answer is to not run an event under an inherently unsafe condition. It’s shocking to me from a liability perspective that this is being allowed to happen. [/quote]
