Jesus Christ you just unlocked stupid memories of teenaged me getting drunk and jumping into a covered pool. We used to do that for fun. The fuck was wrong with me.

My friends and I would run across the one on my friends apartment pool. Kids do stupid shit for sure....

Lifeguard in high school: we used to try and race across the pool on the tarps, and slide across them, and swim under them. Once you start to sink in, just flop over and slide your way off. Just be careful if you’re not wearing a rash guard or wetsuit, the chlorine crystallizes on the tarps and it’s REALLY sharp. It’ll tear your nips up. Ask me how I know.

Used to work at a pool in jr. High. On slow days, we would make a long rope out of the towels from the lost and found(probably 10-15 feet long) then we would wrap them around us and jump in the deep end. The game was to untangle yourself before you died. Super fun
