    When I was young that kind of place was paradise to me. I would catch snakes, lizards, tadpoles, crawdads and other critters. I had a baby pool that I would place the crawdads and tadpoles in and I had a red ear slider and a box turtle and oddly the box turtle loved to eat the crawdads.

    I grew up swimming in places like that. My wife won’t even go in a lake because the muddy bottom grosses her out. But she’ll swim in the ocean with sharks.

    Not to worry, Clayton. That’s just the Creature from the Black Swimmin’ Hole.

    I belong to a ladies group that meets every week for a potluck and swim in a pool. I just eat and talk. Pools are too boring. Give me a creek with tadpoles and I’m there!

    Even as a kid I always wondered what was in the lake water with me. I still do.

    Don’t forget to check for leeches when you get out.

    I’ve never lived anywhere where there was a swimming hole. Do they really exist?

    That was my “every summer day” of my childhood at the local lake. Was even more fun when I was on lifeguard duty. Kept a salt shaker at my station to help kids get rid of blood suckers.

    As a kid, before we moved to town, My younger bother and I swam in the 2 livestock ponds and a nearby creek. Those were some really good times.

    Grew up with a wet marsh at the end of our road. Loved walking through the mud and streams. Swam in nearby lakes every summer. Didn’t see a pool until I left town.

    Lt. Worf was forced to take a mud bath to make his kid and the ladies happy. If a Klingon can handle a mud bath these kids can too.

    what was especially fun when I was a kid was when you’d get outta the water, and then you had to spend a few minutes picking off the leeches… ahh… good times, good times!!

    When I was about 4 or 5, I came out of a pond like that and found a leach on my knee. I was screaming so loud, the neighbors all came running. Luckily, I got over it.

    I remember swimming in the lake and having the fish come up and nibble on my legs.
