We have an in-ground swimming pool of fairly big size in the backyard. It was not particularly favored when we decided to take the offer from the previous house owner. We had to have it only because it was on the property along with the house that we happened wanting to buy. My husband has been working hard to maintain it every summer, probably having lost a few pounds in do so, while I have sporadic thoughts of filling it up with dirt.
Before this year, we must have tried very hard to scare ourselves with the thoughts of deep ocean water. Our whole family was reluctant to jump into the pool if the water temperature was below 78 Fahrenheit. The accumulation of total usage each summer had been less than two weeks. Thinking hard on the amount of money and time we have invested, we came up with an obligatory decision last weekend. Be brave and test the water. It turned out not as frightening cold as we had imagined. The cold water seems to bite in the first couple of minutes, but soothes in the remaining time. The water has been cooperating by providing an inviting temperature of above 75 Fahrenheit.
