There is nothing quite like a late afternoon swim on a late summer day in Texas.  The temperature is still plenty warm for swimming and the water is cool and refreshing unlike the bathtub water of late August.  There is a hint of coolness in the air as the sun sinks into the trees.  And most people have given up swimming after Labor Day so the pool is relatively tranquil and relaxing.  Now just clear out a lane so that I can swim.
