Add in my stale coffee and it’s an enchanting musk to say the least…..

I swam a lot and that chlorine odor from a pool just kills me. It's why when I finally put in my own pool I went with a hypochlorous loop for chlorine. No more smell, rotting bathing suits or greening of sunbleached hairAnd in my stale coffee and it’s an enchanting musk to say the least…..

My Sister converted her home pool to saltwater a few years back and they’ve never been happier. That said, if I’m cleaning at home with say, Fantastic w/Bleach, my kids will immediately say, “smells like a pool in here” - our brains and scent association are fascinating things

Same here. My brother and I were on the HS swim team and on a swim team in Summer as well. I always swam backstroke in the relays cus nobody else wanted to...and our neighbors had a pool...so if we weren't practicing/at a meet we were in the water there....
Then I moved to Colorado. Not much swimming/pools here unless yer staying in or trespassing at some hotel pool/hot tub.
Interesting about the hypochlorous approach. I had no idea. Haven't been in/near a pool in years. 
I do take a quick "yeeeeeooooowwww!" in the creek once in awhile though. 
One of the strongest tags for memory storage is olfactory. A smell can provide an eidetic image which is the most complete form of recall.

Those splashing echoes were deafening after a Friday Dart Night. The travel mug often contained a little hair of the dog to help quell the chlorine filled din of Saturday swim class.

Chlorine odor is a huge deterrent for me too. My understanding is the stronger the smell, the more reaction taking place - I.e. lots of kids peeing. Enough to make me think twice. Home pool sounds really nice!

The sun was actually out for awhile this morning, such a tease. Had the front come through about 8:30 last night. It was similar to a midwest squall line with no joke rain and wind. Next round supposed to be here later today lasting through Tues. On a positive note our snow pack is getting built up well.

My whispy double segregated chernobyl is finally done with re-veg and ready to be Cloned. I'm keeping this one around. Probably run it outside and see if i can train it along the fence. Plus I think it makes Bob angry.
