Once, we had great fun in the pool all summer long, my daughter and me. We were the pariahs of the private club, walking across the pool on our hands, duck-diving for pennies, walking and swimming the floor at the deep end, plunging across the paths of other pool users, who boringly swam lengths, up and back.

She grew up. I didn't, but I had to act my age. Now I swim lengths, like the grown ups...

Until last week! Seven year old granddaughter, a strong swimmer, can outswim me.... but she liked all the other things better! Yeeha!
