Tuesday, December 12, 2006 at 11:49 AM remember when all the neighbourhood were in the swimming pool and everyone would do a whirlpool?
everyone marching around in a circle, building and building and building, then you'd just let go and get swept away by the current.
amazing what the momentum of a dozen under-10s could do. [really amuzing photo] —MajandraFan |

Tuesday, December 12, 2006 at 11:55 AM That was fun, specially in the public pool.
The problem is that I was afraid of the deep deep end of the pool.
So I'd just keep jumping into the kiddy pool looking for the locker key that I threw in
to chase down.
Little did I realize that wasn't a hot dog bun that bumped into my head
but instead a child's dough nut from the O-nut. —rAnCIDsICk@!!! |

Tuesday, December 12, 2006 at 11:58 AM When my husband was a teenager, he and three of his friends did a whirlpool in his family's above-ground pool. It got to the point where there was no water at all in the center and the whole pool broke apart and flooded his and his neighbor's yard. Brilliant. —pookie |

Tuesday, December 12, 2006 at 5:51 PM and summer and spring is the best time for a pool. Nah - pool is just OK in the summer. You'd think it'd be better than it is, but if it's really hot out, the water in the pool is so warm that it doesn't provide much relief - it's like sitting in a warm pee. When it's winter time - freezing out, maybe even a nice blanket of snow, and you're in a hot tub that's steaming, it's effing great.

Tuesday, December 12, 2006 at 6:22 PM I'm gonna have to go ahead and disagree with you there. A nice indoor pool in the winter isn't half bad - almost better than in the summer. Even then, the 'best' for swimming is mediocre compared with the 'best' for hot tubbing. —anobody |

I'm gonna argue with you one more time on here, then slap myself for carrying on an argument on when the best time to have a pool is. So you get the last word, woo hoo That's also irrelevant because almost nobody has an indoor pool. I bet > 1% of privately owned pools are inside. So you can't base a point on something that is so uncommon. There, I'm done! —Stryker311 |

Tuesday, December 12, 2006 at 6:33 PM irrelevant because almost nobody has an indoor pool That's completely immaterial. How rare or common something is doesn't have any impact on how good or bad it is. I bet > 1% of privately owned pools are inside I think you meant 'less than' (<) - but never mind that now. Also, I'd bet it actually is > 1% (though maybe not that much greater). Your view is somewhat biased by living in SoCal. Places like where I went to middle school (Shorewood, WI), it freezes in the winter so almost all of the in-ground pools (public or private) are indoor or in some sort of protective enclosure. Lots of places in the world are too cold for outdoor pools and lots of people (especially in the US) have enough money to have an indoor pool.

Tuesday, December 12, 2006 at 10:29 PM I live in Michigan where we had highs of 24 degrees last week and my shitty complex has an outdoor pool. Through the university I have access to 4 gigantic indoor pools spread across a couple different campusses and I'd trade it all for a fucking hot tub. Nothing quite like a nice drink, a hot tub, and a lady to share it with after a long day's whatever. Stryker will understand when he gets closer to death. —bguirk |

Stryker311 When in the baby pool at public pools you'll commonly find baby feces floating in the water and intresting enough to me, little light brown colored chunks of dookie logs remind me of those "gems" crumb doughnuts. —rAnCIDsICk@!!! |

Thursday, December 14, 2006 at 5:34 PM Really? 3 meters isn't so high. I always thought people used high dive to refer to platforms 5 meter or higher. Haven't thought about this in awhile but that sparked a memory. I jumped off a 5-meter board once when I was in grade school. It was pretty damn scary, though didn't hurt (other than getting chlorine water shot up my nose into my sinuses). The only other time I jumped from something that high was in Hawaii. I went on a hike with a local girl (well... if 23 counts as a 'girl'). At the end was a waterfall that you could climb up the sides of and jump into the water at the bottom. When we got there, we were alone. To get to the lowest place you could jump, you have to climb up some wet / slippery rocks. I figured that since I was there, I might at least try that. I slowly made my way up. It was probably only about 5 meters up but was even scarier than the pool cause there were rocks around the sides. I'm standing up there and kinda crapping myself. I walk up to the edge to jump, but my body won't do it. Do that again 4-5 times, and now I'm just trying to figure out what the hell I'm gonna do. I don't want to jump any more - but the only other way down is the way I came up and I know I'd slip and break my neck going down that way. So I'm still standing up there, deliberating about what I'm gonna do. I'm so focused on myself that I didn't notice that, in the meantime, she went up a path on the other side of the fall. She says something, and I look up. She's standing more than twice - maybe even three times as high up as I am. Then just jumps off. No hesitation. No big deal. I'm still standing up there - and still can not make myself go. I don't have a watch on, but I'm sure it's been a good half hour to forty-five minutes. She goes up and down on the other side another couple of times. Finally, I hear some tourists coming toward us. For some reason, I don't wanna be standing up there for another half hour with these tourists coming by me. I finally will myself to go over the edge. Walk over, don't hesitate, walk off the edge (the trick was just not looking down and pretending I could just keep walking forward). Half a heartbeat later, I'm in the water - again with my sinuses filled with the stuff. It was actually kinda fun. Think I'd go back and try it again (though there's no way in hell I'd go off of the higher cliffs on the other side).

It's high when it's right next to one that's only about two feet above the surface...at a pool.
It's also high when you do an accidental belly-flop from it...especially if you're a guy. —Dusty TheHick |
