Pick up at the Y pool

At the foot of the stairs,
by the locker room entrances,
back from the pool's edge to avoid censure from the "no shoes on the pool deck" Nazis,
parents cluster densely,
towels in hand (unless they forgot them, like me).
Swim class will soon be done,
Praise the lord,
cuz it's mad hot at the Princeton Y pool.
Kids approach and fall into their towels,
then push through,
like at a Who concert.

It's NJ at its best. Lots of breeders and breedees competing for scarce resources, in this case, as so often, space.

Or is it just the new clustered demographics? Is it like this everywhere?

Anyhow, Natalie is doing the Superman jump.
