just keep swimming

• I close my eyes. 
  I picture the pool.
  My place 
  The free smell of chlorine 
  The wet cold water 
  The colorful lane lines 
  If you knew how it feels 
  For the wet water to push against my skin 
  the sound of the timer 
  The sound of the water as 
  we swim 
  The feel of the water on my feet 
  the rough texture of the walls 
  the lines on the bottom of the pool 
  the flags above my eyes 
  The pool makes me feel  
  free and safe

The best advertisement for swimming I have yet seen. Keep at it.
