two things here.

1) i keep forgetting that clams still hasn't graduated. enjoy the free indoor pool while you have it. they don't grow on trees in the real world

2) cico was one in one out last year after city park closed

Looks To Me Like Someone Just Ordered A Fish Sammie And Got Sent A Reuben Instead!

ya cause the natatorium isn't elite? GMAFB.  catch a football off the highdive and get enshrined.  enshrined.

Did it!!! 3 times the last time I wasn't pretty though I had a bright red spot on my side and back for a couple of days.  But I should give the credit to the thrower with out him non of it could have been possible.

thrower is always critical and plays major role unless his name is josh freewoman.

1.  awesome thread
2.  does anyone remember those incredible kids that you would never ever see at school, but that would be at the pool the entire summer?  (free child care!!)  They would be all super ripped and your age (but would act like 21 and smoke) and then you would always beg them to start a "splash the high dive life guard game") and then it WOULD BE ON!!!!!
3.  tommy mangino was probably the best gutter bawl player of all time.  until he hit 7th grade, then he would just lay back and let babes come admire his six pack + braces + facial & armpit hair.
4.  my mom never gave me money for snax at the pool, always the excuse of "you'll get a cramp" then would come home and she would feed me tuna fish on toast.  WTF MOM???
5.  last year I went to the pool (8th grade?) I just said eff it and went up on the "extra" lifeguard seat (@ CICO) that was right at the corner of the lap pool/diving pool (facing away from the boards) and jumped in during adult swim.  Total whistle/lifeguard freak out.
6.  when my weird cousins from mi would come down, they would always have insane can opener/cannonball moves and do like belly flops off the high dive.  Everyone thought they were weird.  They weren't even like "HEY THAT'S AWESOME AND IMPRESSIVE!" they were just like "wtf?  those guys are weird."
7.  no way to hide boners in swimsuit.

Get there at noon, no wait and stay all day.  I did it in August.  People serious about their craft put in the time.

If you find a good thrower never let him go.  Too many throwers who wait until you are on the way down and air mail it 10 feet over your head.

christ, when cd nails it he just nails it.

most fun thing to do at the pool period. have a person throw a nerf ball at you while your jumping off the boards and try to catch it mid-air (not a better feeling in the world than when you catch one)  

Best thing overall:  'sigh' agreed on the nerf ball catch 

i honestly just got a kind of light/nervous/good feeling in my chest just thinking about catching one off the boards.



will make it a point to do this over the summer. 

Not at the MHK pool you won't.   

i know. saddest thing ever. as soon as i move here the city pool is closed for two years. had to join the country club just to have a pool to go to this summer. what a rip off, don't get me started.   

On the plus side the country club pool is the right size for full court gutter ball where the city pool is too wide and you have to play half court.

At the park where I would swim they had a basketball court right next to the pool.  We would play ball on a 8 1/2 foot goal (dunkball).  for an hour or so then when we are nice and sweaty would go to the pool and swim for a while then go back and play some more dunkball.  We were banned from doing the fire drill when everyone jumped off the divingboard as fast as we could in a line.  Was fun but lots of kids crying after.  But an hour later did it again.
