What memories do you have of swimming pools?

A swimming pool has a way of bringing up memories of childhood for most adults. We all seem to have a relationship to water, whether good or bad, that floods back into our bodies when around a swimming pool. Having grown up in Michigan, with all the amazing lakes around me, my most vivid memories are of my friends swimming pool. Each memory is so HD (high definition) that I often feel like I’m reliving it 30 years later. What is your reaction to water and swimming pools? Would you care to share?
