I know, from an earlier disagreeable incident, that the pool needs disinfectant but I’m beginning to wonder if the chlorine isn’t a tad too strong. I’ve just worn out my second pair of trunks this year. Rotted by warfare strength chemicals. One thing baffles me though, why is the first area to disappear always the Bum Crack? Always the arse. And why do I never notice until after the swim, after leaving the pool, and after walking through the changing rooms full of the local rugby team?
