[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you get injured diving into a shallow pool, yes, but by guess is that the people who get paralyzed or seriously injured diving into a shallow pool are diving in as if trying to swim to the bottom, that is going head first and straight down, which is very different than "diving" in for a race start.

Parent of a club swimmer and my kid’s normal start dive would not be remotely safe in a 2.5 foot deep pool. When people are having to alter their entry into the pool to avoid injury that is less than ideal. [/quote]

Thanks for specifying that your kid is a *club* swimmer. :roll:

I wrote the above and my kids are also an OMG *club* swimmers, and both swimming at All Stars. I have no doubt they will be will be just fine tomorrow. Life is about adapting and with so many variable pools in the league they have to adapt at every meet. Not expecting best times, but it is what it is. [/quote]
I clarified that my kid swims club to make clear that they know how to dive,  and they would have to make major adjustments to dive safely into 2.5 feet of water. You clearly don’t care about the kids who may not be as proficient as yours. But keep insisting this isn’t a legitimate safety concern and just something that needs to be “adapted” to because of your perception that NVSL all stars is the be all end all of swimming. 🙄[/quote]
