Maine History Told by Mainers

Swimming

Submitted May 19, 2003 by Lyndsay Bailey

I was born on August 16, 1990 and when I was born my mother took me down to the lake and took me swimming when I was a few days old. A few years later when I was two she took me to a lake named Keenes Lakes and I walked in over my head.

Ever since I was a little girl I loved swimming and swimming in a lake in Maine is so refreshing a cool it is not even funny. Every summer some of my friends and I go to the brook and sit there for hours for a time. It's so fun and every year we go to Keenes lake and the Calais public pool. It is the best time and we have so much fun. the end
