The term 'thrown in at the deep end' refers to being put into a completely new situation without help or preparation, which clearly suits Brian in this context.
No snails were harmed in the making of this photograph. At no time was Brian in any danger of falling into the pool. He was much smaller than the diameter of the 'diving board'.
