Looks good, right? And ooo it felt even better! However, I did learn the downside to residential pools. That is, the known but under-analyzed fact that you indeed share the space with other residents. And in my case, kids. Lots of kids.
Saturday's lesson: Well, after getting caught in the middle of a ruthless game of ground/water football (yeah, it was really weird), my friend and I agreed that we would have to come out earlier the next day in order to fully enjoy the experience (though the cool water served its purpose).
Sunday's lesson: We left the house earlier, putting our plan into action. It started off OK. I learned how to backstroke and do somersaults in the pool. Very productive I must say. But then... the gremlins returned. Okay, I apologize. Cute kids (with gremlin tendencies). This time it wasn't a football. No, no. That would be too predictable. It was a chlorine filled water bottle that came shooting into the pool for no reason whatsoever. This was then followed by the football game.
Next weekend, if Charlotte tries to burn me out of my house once again... I'm swimming solo at the crack of dawn! I'll have a private pool one day. Promise.
Seriously though, you need to stay out of the sun. Check out these public pools.
Until later... somebody fan me!
