Under water, things are peaceful. All it takes to escape the
noise and chaos of a community swimming pool during, say, a kid’s birthday
party is a brief submersion. Under the water, we’re in our own private worlds
into which it’s almost impossible for others to trespass. Sound fades away,
while everything moves slower and seems more graceful. At least most of the
time. There are some occasions when being under water is far from this kind of
peaceful experience. Today’s activities straddled both sides of that line.
Well, sort of.
