Swimming Moves

We used to go swimming with our parents and children at the Fitness Institute, The facilities were enhanced, we had showers and a make-up room. There was a swimming pool and a tennis court, After your swim, you could sun yourself on the deck. We were all good swimmers, my sons and I and our parents, You could dive into the pool from the side of the pool or the diving board. We swam the breast stroke, back stroke, The side stroke, the dolphin , always enjoyable. Diving from the diving board was a deep experience, Many pleasurable experiences here. Good to be with our children., We could go to the restaurant after for a lunch. Then we would all return to the beautiful house with my sons and my sister. These are good memories. Now and then we would go for a picnic at the local conservation area, Toss the frisbee and the boomerang back and forth. Then we would go back to our parents' house, Watch hockey or baseball on the television. Then our mother and grandmother would cook a delicious dinner, Father would say a prayer, We would all enjoy another;s company, Play monopoly and gin rummy, Memories that will always stay with you, Remembering all the magic at our parents and grandparents' house.
