Really! I really thought they were pulling my leg. This is just over the fence from where I live. I didn't bring my swim suit, so I decided to test out the uniform; it dries quickly in this heat
Really starting to miss going out to take photos! Worst of all I received my first full frame Canon EOS R a day or two before lock-down so never had a chance to even test it on anything spectacular.
So here is some more pool imagery from home. (These are the least flattering images I have every taken of my wife so she will kill me if she knew I uploaded them, but somehow I think the struggle of swimming with twins are better captured in the candid imagery)
Our life has turned into a triangle of daily activities, House - Pool -

The library hosted a swim party for all kids 6-18 who had read over 30 books in the Texas Reading Club. There was fun in the Friendswood pool, plus grilled hot dogs by the Boy Scouts and popsicles for everyone!
Astoria Park has one of the largest and most popular swimming facilities in the country, with a main pool and diving pool that meet Olympic standards, as well as a wading pool. At 330 feet in length, the main pool is the largest in New York City. Parks Commissioner Robert Moses, an avid swimmer himself, recognized the importance of aquatic recreation and launched a campaign to open eleven new pools throughout the city during the summer of 1936. The labor and construction came from the Works Progress Administration (WPA), whose administrator Harry Hopkins described the pool in Queens as, “The finest in the world.” Astoria Pool was a model for the other ten pools. It has been said that Moses intended it to be the grandest of the new pools because it had the best view of the Triborough Bridge, which was completed in the same year.
Perhaps the most exciting events in the history of Astoria Pool were the Olympic Trials for the U.S. Swim and Diving Teams. The pool’s grand opening was July 4, 1936, and it was on this day that the finals of the Olympic swim tryouts began. This remarkable contest returned to Astoria in 1964. The two fountains located on the east end of the pool (which now spray water twenty-five feet in the air) served as Olympic torches which burned throughout the events in 1936 and 1964. The diving pool has a 32-foot elevated platform, built to conform to Olympic standards.

A friends birthday party held by the pool in his rear yard.
No one was appropriately dressed to swim in his pool, however.

I used to photograph a lot of water polo games and it was hard to separate games, so I got into the habit of photographing an object(s) at rest between games so I knew where one was finished and another started. Just as an aside, this photo was shot at 1/640 @F4 with a 300/4 at an ISO of 6400. The pool was incredibly dark.
Bullfrogs and Butterflies was the kids pool party theme for a 7 year old birthday party. Frog splash balls and butterfly dive rings provided lots of creativity for swimming pool games to play.

To break up the otherwise insanely boring day, a friend and I decided to spend time at the pool.
The maintenance folks were working on the pool lighting system while we were there. This light was just floating in the water instead of being lodged into the pool wall.
