I have decided that swimming pools are genius inventions. They're a bit weird (''Let's dig a hole, fill it with water, and then flounder about in it!''), but genius. Think about it. You're walking home from school, work, or whatever, and it's so hot out that you can feel your toes slowly melting inside your shoes. When you get home, you can either a) jump in the pool, or b) lie around on the floor of your house, hoping that you might catch a slight breeze if you're closer to the ground. What do you do? You jump in the pool, of course! Healthier than ice cream, more effective than the floor-lying method.
Unless you're hydrophobic, of course, in which case I feel for ya.
And that is why the swimming pool is a genius invention. It's a source of excercise that allows you to stay in the summer sun without melting (that's assuming that the heating system hasn't gone insane and you're not swimming in fifty thousand degree water to cool off).
And if you really want to get the most use out of a swimming pool, you can let it freeze over in winter and use it to ice skate and/or as a storage space for your frozen foods. Although this is not, in my opinion, recommended.
