Swimming

Today to pool finally opened and it was beautiful. Half an hour of relief from the blazing African sun. The pool opens at 2 o'clock, at 2.01 it goes mental. Loads of boys just come jump in, they wrestle in the pool, have races and play tag. You have to understand that this pool is not exactly olympic size. It must be only 8 foot wide and 16 feet long. Oh well, this only makes the fun more concentrated! The boys have made up a game, it's called 'Trying to drown Mr Jack'. This is fun for about 5 minutes, then i need oxygen. Whats fun is picking up one of the small boys and just chucking them in the pool. But Botswana being a land-locked country and its rivers being full of crocs and hippos, most of the boys are not natural swimmers, so we do have to be careful! Defintely one of my favourite things to do at Bana Ba Metsi.
