I took a job at the pool in order to earn the five cents a day it cost to swim. I counted wet towels. As a bonus, I was allowed to swim during lunchtime.

I took my daily swim at the Beverly Hills Hotel pool despite the presence of onlookers.

Somehow I kept my head above water. I relied on the discipline, character, and strength that I had started to develop as that little girl in her first swimming pool.

I usually go to the swimming pool if I want to swim.

Time is a pool to swim & dream & create in.

Traveling to swimming meets took me beyond my small-town existence, gave me a hint of the exciting world outside of my own home.
