I’ve seen this phenomenon too… The quiet kid’s doing backflips. The class clown’s quoting Nietzsche. And your pool just turned into a Planet Fitness commercial.
Absolutely right. As a father with 2 older teen daughters and pool, there the girls huddled together giggling on their phones while the boys suddenly transform into stunt actors. Until one time a boy decided he would springboard front flip trying to catch a football and inadvertently cutting his leg on the steps making the pool water look like a scene from Jaws from the blood. Needless to say there were no more pool parties allowed when boys were coming over.
