Our Pool
Lucy Ruth Cummins
A child and their mother spend a hot summer day at a city pool alongside many children and families. The narrator waits for sunscreen, notices the different ways people enter and move through the water, and hears city sounds become muted underwater. Dark clouds briefly bring disappointment before they pass and the pool day continues. The story follows the shared rhythms of a day spent swimming.
