- Summary
- “Smell the chlorine, taste the hot chips and feel the burning concrete underfoot as you read these stories of Australia childhoods at the pool. Swimming is a central part of most Australian childhoods. We idealise beaches and surf, but for many kids the local pool ? whether it?s an ocean, tidal or a chlorinated pool ? is where they pass summer days. Pools are places of imagination, daring, belonging, freedom, friendship and romance. For some they are places of hard-core swimming training. This delightful, nostalgic anthology bring together reflections and recollections about the swimming pools of childhood from a range of Australians of diverse ages and backgrounds, well known and not-so-famous, including Trent Dalton, Leah Purcell, Shane Gould, Bryan Brown and Merrick Watts. Evocative, funny and sometimes bittersweet, 28 people remember the pools that shaped their childhoods. Everyone who has every dived into their local Olympic pool, bush waterhole or saltwater baths will want to submerge themselves in this beautiful book.”--Back cover
