What do you remembering doing on those Hot Summer Days?
My siblings and I went to the city pool on hot summer days:
1. The pool was located at a local high school.
2. We walked several city blocks to get to the pool (no adults.)
3. There was a tall cinder block wall around the pool so you couldn't see the pool from outside.
4. Before getting into the pool we were required to shower and wear a swimming cap.
5. There were two pools side by side - the shallow pool (down to about 3-5 feet) and the deep pool (up to 8 feet) that had a diving board.
6. You had to pass a swimming test to be allowed into the deep side of the pool. The test was to swim the length of the pool. I tried once but I didn't make it.
7. My favorite pool activity was doing flips under the water.
8. A child was allowed to be at the pool without adult supervision as long as they were at least 8 years old.

We would ride our bikes...to the next town over, to my grandmothers house without adults.
We loved the chance to go to the town pool and jump off the high dive over and over.
The town whistle...when I would stay with my friend who lived in the center of town, the town whistle would blow at 8:50 and all of us kids had to be in off the street at that time.
Putting pennies on the train tracks before the train got there and then after the train went by, going and retrieving the pennies.
Riding the mini bike through the field.
