The power of chemicals! And a little brushing on the walls of the pool. And the pool pump running overnight. The storms last week brought algae that grew fast in days of Phoenix sun. This is the pool we were so happy to be able to finally get in after months of overwhelming intense heat in Phoenix.

We were able to swim on August 23 and Drew for the first time in 2 1/2 years walked alone along the edges, did front and back floats and the crawl.

But a week later the accident happened and no more pool time for men with broken legs. Sad sad sad. I’m thinking of going in myself on the first hot day likely to come a few days before the Fall finally holds again. It will be too cold though. Maybe I’ll just dip my legs. It’s the principle, you know.
