As an 8 or 9 year- old who had not yet learned to swim, I would visit the local Boys Club to use the pool. We were Boston adjacent - no backyard pools then.
When I was ten years old I earned my Red Cross Basic Swimming certification at the L Street Bathhouse in Southie.
That was the summer Jaws came out. I had the poor sense to go see the movie while enrolled in the class - subsequent sessions of class were far less enjoyable.
