Chlorine usually works. And diving and waterslides are fun. ---

Skinny dipping is sexy. Sex in a pool is not. ---

> [@colonelsmoothie](#): > > Sounds gross tbh. A public pool? Eh, I’d want to see the chlorine schedule. A private club pool? Eh, I’d trust them that they don’t want to lose members. Besides, elites. My own backyard pool? Every day, perhaps twice on Sundays. I know the chlorine schedule. And when it is finally filled and with heated water (I’ll check the gas bill to see If I keep that up), it WILL be every day of the year. Ev.Er.Y. Day. Just to rub it in your face, CS. Come on out to Sunny everyday Southern California, and you, too, can jump into my pool. Water’s warm! Afterward, we will sit under my patio shade, drink margaritas, or stouts, or tasty wine from Central Coast California. ---

It finally cooled down enough to use the pool again. I’m hoping for a good month or 2 before the water drops below the preferred temp. ---

Having been on a travel swim team in my youth I will probably never step foot in a public pool again Most of us ended up getting plantar warts and one kid even got an infection in one of his popped blisters (he ended up getting hospitalized) My plantar warts went away on their own about two years after I stopped swimming With that being said my oldest is turning 2 soon and I think it’s about time for swim lessons….
