I did this sketch sitting by our apartment pool, looking across the garden to the white building on the other side of the apartment wall. The white contrasted nicely with the thick ivy on the wall, and the verdant plants surrounding the pool. I enjoyed watching two window-cleaners furiously scrubbing away at the building's huge windows.

This gentleman was lounging in this little pool, tossing out stray hunks of coral the waves had washed in. He gladly obliged with a photo.
This was the second to last year we belonged to the Connecticut Avenue Swim Club. Various shots of my parents, two sisters, my older brother and me.
There really is a pool table underneath, in transit between locations long enough to fill will rain. A nice case of nominative determinism . . .

Introduced in November 2011 the Grand Prix Series provides our swimmers with an additional opportunity to race against high quality opposition, usually in long course format, at key periods of the competitive season.
The Meets are open to all swimmers throughout Scotland and entries are also be welcomed from across the UK and overseas. The series consists of three meets hosted in Inverness, Edinburgh and Aberdeen. Each meet will follow the same format with swimmers scoring points based on performance at each meet. The prize fund is £5,000 and will be earned by the leading swimmers across the series, with prizes for the best overall swimmers (male and female) and for individual categories. Meets may also be entered on an individual basis but swimmers must contest at least two of the three meets in order to be eligible for prize money.
A full programme of 50m, 100m, 200m and 400m events are swum together with Women's 800m and Men's 1500m Freestyle. 100 & 200m events have both A & B finals.
The North District Grand Prix is the Phase 2 Meet for selection onto the Scottish
Commonwealth Games swimming team.
Phase 2 will be used to select swimmers for any individual and relay events remaining
after Phase 1 and for relay alternates if required.
