There's nothing I love more than swimming, but it has to be VERY warm to get me into the pool. Like Caribbean warm. My MIL's pool in RI is typically too cold, even in August.

I'm with Primo here. Just a nice spot to congregate.
Trust me, no one wants me to unleash the Great White Belly and jump in that pool anyway.

Hotel perhaps. one with a pool. I know that outside of Yarmouth in Cape Cod, it's tough to find a hotel with kitsch appeal. But a little nicer would be cool, and at the same time I am not that critical, because it wasn't that big a deal.

I have to agree, if just for the atmosphere. Not an item of huge importance, but some water, even in a manmade basin, adds a lot to the atmosphere. Plus, the patio furniture is conducive to relaxing and enjoying cocktails.

And it gives geeks like me an excuse for an entirely new wardrobe segment--"poolside attire!"

Bargoyle,
If guys like you and I didn't go in the water what would the well meaning hippies in the zodiacs have to circle?
Poolside is coolside! That style of patio/ pool entertaining was a major part of swanky get togethers back in the day.
