swimming with sharks....

well, no. But the boy is learning to swim up at the university. In their giant, huge deep pool. We've been going for 4 weeks now, and although he still can't swim, he does flail with less of a "I'm going to drown" vibe.

Yesterday I get a call from the pool saying that there was a "blood incident" that morning and they had to shock the pool..so lessons would be outside of the water . (code words for safety film) Then I got to thinking... just how much blood had to get into a HUGE, GIANT, DEEP pool to be shock-worthy?

It turns out a lot. A WHOLE lot. I'm glad they closed down the pool... and the boy got some valuable advice about swimming safety. All things considered it was a good night (except for the dude who lost all that blood)....
