Yup

All the more reason to really appreciate it. Pool June, July, August, September. Frozen the rest of the time.

I could swim before i could walk... actually i could float srs. My parents had me in a special class for babies to learn to survive if i fell in a pool or canal (Florida crew). When i was 11mo old they had to throw me in pool with all my clothes on and i was able to float for minutes. This was in 1982ish and before i could walk.

And yes we had a pool.

I grew up in Cuba so **** owning anything let alone a home with a pool. Fast forward, I had one built so my son can enjoy it.
Towards the end of the built, no grass yet.

Not when I was young. We were too poor. My friend’s grandma had a 4 ft inflatable Walmart pool that all the neighborhood kids would swim in though. Those were good times.

When I was a teenager my dad bought a 2nd hand inflatable hot tub from the thrift store and put it in the yard as a pool ded fkin srs. Actually worked nicely with the jets but it looked poverty I was sometimes embarrassed the neighbors would see.

Water balloon fights were the chit

We had a pool growing up and I had a pool for my kids when they were growing up. It had it's pros and cons. My kids loved it and used it all the time. The problem was we had a ton of kids in the neighborhood who would constantly show up on my property or constantly be knocking on my door to use the pool when no one was using it. There was a public pool less than a mile from my house...god forbid their parents take them there...they would just send them to my house.

Drove me nuts.

Growing up I lived like 50 yards from a massive river and during the summer we'd all just get on boats/jet skis, park them and swim in the river. I ended up moving and my mom put a pool in when I was 18.

Sloots absolutely love swimming pools. When I was in college and back home visiting I'd go to the local casino to pick up women and bring them back to the pool at my parent's house at 2am to afterparty. Fun times lol

Have you ever been there?

It would be comfortable swimming outdoors like 5 days a year. It's either cold or rainy 90% of the time. The way it rains there is weird as hell, like where I live we get more than twice the average rainfall as London but we get it in far, far fewer days. If you've been to Florida during the summer you'll understand. A thunderstorm comes in the afternoon, dumps 2 inches and its sunny and humid as fuk 2 hours later, repeat for almost every day during the summer. In England its just this gray sky, misty drizzle for what feels like weeks on end
