Swim #6: Outdoor pool at the JCC, Newton

Summer is finally here!  One of the happiest days of the year is the day the outdoor pool at the JCC opens for the season.  Finally, I can swim my laps outdoors in the sunshine.

Benjamin, Leah and I spent many, many happy days here in summers past.  Leah learned to swim in the kiddie pool, and both kids spent endless hours swimming and playing here.  Nowadays, I walk all the way to the far end, where there are no children, just adults quietly reading books and lying in the sun.  I swim my laps, then sit and read for a while.  It is a perfect way to end the day.
