[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]USA Swimming rules state 4 ft as the minimum depth for starting from blocks or a deck. Under 4ft, in the water starts (eg push off from the wall) should be performed. NVSL makes exceptions to the USA swimming rules to accommodate the inadequate facilities.

I guess the naysayers know more than USA swimming as they are unable to admit it is a danger.[/quote]

1.  I don't think anyone said that it's not a danger.  It's a calculated risk, it's not ideal, and the only other option was to not have IAS.  If you feel this is too much of a risk, you are welcome to sit your child out.  No one is forcing you to let your child swim.  If you believe the option of not having a meet - you are making yourself judge and jury to determine the amount of risk you feel everyone else should be comfortable with.  Once more for those in the back - if you feel the risk is too great YOUR CHILD DOESN"T HAVE TO SWIM.

2.  I would wager 80% of NVSL pools (and other Northern VA summer leagues to Colonial Swimming League, Reston Swim Team Association, and Country Club League) do not have a 4ft deep start end.[/quote]

Good points. Thank you.[/quote]
