There was truly nothing better than playing in the pool as a kid. Anytime my family ever stayed in a hotel or motel, my brother and I would find the swimming pool. No matter how soggy our skin, we'd have to be physically dragged (or straight-up bribed) by our parents to get out. I love the point you make about how a pool as a safer body of water where you can let your guard down, and how building your backyard pool was a lesson in delayed gratification. I also love how much joy you found, it sounds like you had a wonderful vacation! ☀️
