[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]

I guess those saying it's unsafe know more than NVSL as they are unable to recognize that NVSL has allowed Pinecrest to host meets since 1979, apparently without any major incidents.

As someone else noted, many -- perhaps most -- NVSL pools have a depth of less than 4 feet at the start end.  If you are relying on USA Swimming rules as the standard for safety, then you have to say that all of those pools are also unsafe.  I think that most would dismiss that argument as absurd.

Ultimately, NVSL is a recreational swim league.  If you don't think that a pool is safe, don't let your child swim there.  It's that simple.[/quote]
