But then my daughter said, "But swimming always makes everything better." And something clicked in me. Swimming was always such a special treat for me as a kid. Really, some of my favorite family memories were summer days on the beach, even when it was cold, even when it was rocky, even when it was windy.
That was the beginning. I promised myself that for the rest of the summer, I was getting in the water, conditions be damned! Here were my rules: 1. If I was anywhere near clean, safe, swimmable water, I would get in. 2. Getting in means putting your whole body under water! 3. It didn't matter if my kids were there or if they got in too. 4. Lightning was basically the only valid excuse to not get in.
