The one regret I have about Jiving on Peaks Island is that there is no community swinuning pool. Water, water everywhere, but no place to really swim. When I w:is a child, we had a community swimming pool outside in this big park. My par­ ents would give us a quarter, and we would go there to spend the whole day. I remember sitting cross-legged on the bottom of the pool and "talking" to my sister underwater. We played remarka­ bly well while holding our breath . We were motivated swinnners, because you had to pass this swinuning test before you would be allowed into the deep end. and onto the diving board. What an LonlenlJ accomplishment when I graduated from the shallow end! Cover: Friends of 1 On Peaks Island, my kids haven· t had that same experience.
