I used to go to the public pool every day when I was in middle and high school. It was where everyone hung out and we had a good time. Some were on swim teams, others played tennis. Me, I hung out with friends and played poker and gambled with red hot dollars and swedish fish, lol.

My parents have a large above ground pool. They got it the year AFTER I moved out. Sigh. I do go in when I go up there, but with gas prices the way they are, that isn't as often as I'd like it to be.

We have pools here in the city, but it's mostly kids that are there. I could get a gym membership with a pool membership, but again, that's pricey, and I just can't afford it. I miss the pool. The closest I get to swimming and water these days is when I'm watering my flowers and plants with the hose, lol.
