Oh, the stories you just can't make up! I am the Tuesday night deck manager at the Y this session.
On Tuesday, I watched in awe as a gentleman, and I'm guessing, his wife came into the pool, walked to the deep end, and sat down. He proceeded to take off his shoes, his socks, his shirt, his pants . . . You know where I was headed with this!
Fortunately, he had on red plaid boxers. The truth is you do not need a swimsuit to swim at the Y. You need "appropriate swim attire." Now I am of the generation where we used to wear boxers as shorts so I may have been a bit more lenient than others, but I let him go in.
You gotta love it! He wanted me to watch him swim so that I could tell him if he could swim! And he started at the deep end . . .
Unfortunately, English was not his first language, but his maybe wife could speak it well. I made her walk beside me to interpret my comments about his swimming abilities.
You know, he wasn't bad. But I did tell her to let him know that next time he came in to swim, he had to wear either a swimsuit or shorts - boxers were NOT going to cut it!
