Pool Days

Chlorine, sunburn, and a boombox by the lifeguard chair.

Chlorine in the air. Hot concrete on bare feet. A snack bar hot dog, a diving board dare, and the same songs blasting from weathered speakers all summer long. These are the anthems of public pools, water parks, swim teams, and endless summer afternoons from 1980–1999.

▸ Did you know

  • Adult swim: every hour the lifeguard's whistle cleared the kids out for 15 endless minutes.
  • The snack bar ran on quarters — Bomb Pops, nacho cheese, and a Walkman if you were lucky.
  • These are the songs that leaked out of the lifeguard's boombox between whistle blasts, all summer long.
