It was a Saturday afternoon and my dad was taking care of us 3 kids. We were booting around town with Dad as he did a few errands. One of those errands was to get us signed up for swimming lessons.

I was around 5 or 6 years old. It’s one of my earliest memories. We drive up to the recreational center that housed our town’s pool.In ground pool in ranch style home courtyard bordered by long tree hedge. We walk into the reception area and BAM – there it was through the glass… the large, crystal blue pool. I wanted in. I actually thought we were going swimming. My young mind couldn’t comprehend that my Dad was there to only sign us up for swimming lessons, not to go swimming.

I saw the pool and I wanted in. Dad did his best to reason with my young, illogical mind to no avail. I entered tantrum mode and we drove home.
