But How Are the Chlorine Levels?

I have been a bit preachy. I would apologize but then again his is my area and I can do what I want. I kind of look at this way:

I am not a strong swimmer. I manage and am fairly sure I won't drown. Mind you, only in the last year would you actually see me in the deep end of a real pool, but I realized I'm actually able to keep from drowning. Of course I'm still not ready to jump in a lake. Because of this I spend time in the deep end and in the shallow end. I take some time to push myself in the deep, but I also go over to the shallow to relax and enjoy. Life needs to be the same way. Sometimes you need to venture into the deep, test yourself and push your comfort limits. You also need some time to relax your muscles and recoup for another journey into the deep. 

I have been paddling in the mentally semi-deep here. My kids get the shallow end, at least when I'm not nagging them to clean up their mess. I will express more shallow, just for fun... eventually. I think mostly I express more of a mid-pool, 4' range here, but the last few might have been more 5-6'. Sometimes though we just need to work through our deeper stuff.
