Grew up in the water. Summers at the pool and lake. Was a lifeguard for a few summers.

We did swim tests the first day at camp. There was always one troop of inner city kids. Non of them would back down, they could all swim. The first kid would jump in the deep end and sink like a rock. We knew we were going after them before they hit the water. Pick 'em off the bottom and bring them to the surface flailing. The rest would look at each other and walk over to the shallow end. Good times.
