Splash, splash, my senses alive
Babies, children, adults swimming in the pool.
Smell of chlorine, foggy windows and water on the slippery ground
Teachers instructing, parents watching, while kids are playing.
Lifeguards shouting, "Be careful, don't run!"
Old people chatting in the big spa and sauna.
Messy change rooms; kids showering, getting dressed
Parents yelling, "Hurry up, we need to get home!"
What an interesting time at the swimming pool
Maybe I'll come back next week?
