Title: Town Pool Again!
Post by: Michael Alexander on February 16, 2008, 11:33:00 AM
I started to Swim Lengths again this week... My girls are going to the Gala, Cameron is only 6 going on 7 and swims like a 9 year old... Shannon is also a strong swimmer and they put me to shame, so I stopped my 14 months of Lazytime and resumed swimming... I was off today , so the whole family hit the town pool at 10h00 for lengths and a bit of fun... While I was there, I took a few more snaps....

I meant to put a comment with that pic, as you can see the walls are adorned with lovely white SPikes, these were put up once word of the impending reunion spread through the town..... hehehehehe! On a serious note, they have been up for about four years..... but I already marked the spot where people have bent the spikes down ... you will be handed a sat photograph when you arrive here, with those spots circled in red....

There used to be trees along the wall of the main entrance. Otherwise everthing looks familiar.

Geez . . . there's that idiotic tongue-pulling emoticon again!!

Sorry folks, but some damn deamon possessed my rum-filled brain and must have forced me to log on and push my finger to that emoticon????????

I remember this pool well . . . it was here, way back in about 1968/69 (approximately?) that Cherry Alcock proposed to me that we go out!!  I recall being so stunned, it took me 35 years to say something!!

Cheers from,
That Canadian Guy with a Big Pole.
