Howdy,
Well, it’s still August, September shortly around the corner, and pool season is slowing down already.
I don’t understand it, but that’s what I’m seeing in our condominium complex. Less people at the pool.
A couple of reasons: school has started and the nights have cooled slightly (as compared to the height of summer’s heat).
My opinion would be that the new, refreshed, routine of school is the number one factor, but for those that seem to only swim at the top of the thermometer the creeping in of some fall weather also plays into the equation, particularly the cooling overnight bringing the pool’s water temperature down a few degrees.
I’ll keep swimming.
For a good while.
But we’ll see if many others keep showing up for any amount of time. It’ll be particularly interesting this week, as there are about three consecutive days coming in the triple digits. The summer heat will cycle back, but I don’t know if the swimmers will.
This summer’s pool season is passing on to the fall. School bells are ringing and the fresh smell of manure is in the air.
Seems like a good reason to go swimming to me.
Reason #281 or so.
