Swimming lesson

I am a certified Baby Boomer, so when I grew up in the 1960s there were nearly three zillion kids in my neighborhood.

Nearby was a public pool that offered free swimming lessons each summer. Most of us kids begged to attend those lessons, and most of us did.

This was just a medium sized pool, not equipped to hold a full neighborhood. Sometimes there were so many of us, it heated the water, which brings me to my story.
