pools and hot tubs

my dad loved to swim and use the hot tub. i remember him convincing my mom, who hates the water, to go with him into the hot tub in our california townhouse complex. she ended up loving the hot tub, of course. he loved to go between the pool and the hot tub, claiming that the change in temperature was good for him. i always have the funny image of him coming back from the pool with his towel and swim trunks, goggles in hand.
