Remember when you were a kid and summer swimming was everything? That's all you wanted, and you could spend hours upon hours at the pool, the lake, the beach. Sometimes there would be an adult swim and you'd have to get out for 15 minutes, god forbid, and it seemed like forever. You wondered how the adults could stand to swim for only 15 minutes.
Now, as an adult without children, I rarely get to places where I can swim. When I do, 15 minutes at a time is almost more than I can bear because I am so easily exhausted. Still, it feels good to get in the water on a hot summer day, and each time I do, I wonder why I don't do it more often.
