Poolside memories

Did any of you ever go to the pool as a kid in the summer? I spent many a day there myself — plymouth pool it was called. I remember the summer by brother was 16 and got paid to paint it in the spring.

Sadly the the Detroit Free Press reported that many community pools are not opening or shutting down because of budget constraints. 

I have several distinct memories at my community pool, including a close call with the cops at thirteen for taking a midnight swim there with several kids in my seventh grade science class, including this girl who I had a pretty big crush on. I only hope every kid can have memories like that.

But alas, there is another kind of pool I was never good at.
