), my thoughts turn to recollections of high school summers I spent as a lifeguard at the city pool during the summers of 1969–1971. There was a baby pool, a wading pool and a 25-meter pool with a sloping bottom that ranged in depth from 4 feet at the shallow end to 15 feet at the deep end. The “Deep End” was delineated by a string of buoys on a rope across the pool where the bottom sloped precipitously downward. There were two diving boards, the low dive (1-meter) and the high dive (3-meters). Daily he pleaded his case to me whenever I occupied the tall chair that overlooked the deep end.
