Well, it happened sooner than I’d hoped.

This past week, I swam once. Then the rains came, day after day. We experienced very cloudy days, nights that slipped into the 60s, and days that didn’t climb out of the upper 70s. Yesterday, I checked the pool temperature, and it was 81 degrees. For me, that’s a temperature I call “gasp-worthy.” I checked the forecast for the next ten days, and we have several days that will climb into the upper 80s. However, if you own a pool, you know that warming it up takes longer than cooling it down. I might try to swim on one or two of those hotter days, picking the hottest point of the day to get into the pool, however uncomfortable it may be. But “Swim Season” is basically over, which makes me very, very sad.
