It's a ritual. It's a rite. It's a gift. To spend one's summer lounging and lazing and playing poolside with awesome friends and warm wet showers and hiding from thunder claps and shooting hoops and hitting tennis balls. All with friends. In company of others whom you like and who relish the chance to be an old fashion kid. Southampton is that and more for us. And P-Bear gets to be mini-mite -- the greatest gift of all. A novice (to be kind) swimmer who is greeted by coaches happy to see him, parents who will cheer him, and a day-after meet party. Does not get much better.
Yesterday Porter was welcomed officially with his SRA swim cap. There is nothing like the enthusiasm of a 5 year old who needs to try something out right now. Don't know that he will take the pool by force but he will have fun. And for all of us, SRA is a blessing.
