| Swimming at Newton North. It was one of those days when I regretted not paying $18 to swim at Newton YMCA instead of $6 to swim at the HS. The water had a funky green-brown color and there were puddles with clearly brown water on the floor. There was also water dripping from the ceiling, which also had an unhealthy color. The swim guard did, however, promise that the water should be safe to swim in and that the swim team used the pool earlier during the day so Mark and I jumped in after some hesitation. We are both still feeling fine (Wednesday) so the water was hopefully OK and the color only due to rust and other minerals dripping down from the ceiling. But I may swim somewhere else next time... |
