Description:
Smell the chlorine, taste the hot chips and feel the
burning concrete underfoot as you read these stories of Australian childhoods
at the pool.
Swimming is a central part of most Australian childhoods. We
idealise beaches and surf, but for many kids the local pool – whether it's an ocean,
tidal or a chlorinated pool – is where they pass summer days. Pools are places
of imagination, daring, belonging, freedom, friendship and romance. For some
they are places of hard-core swimming training.
This delightful, nostalgic anthology brings together
reflections and recollections about the swimming pools of childhood from a
range of Australians of diverse ages and backgrounds, well known and
not-so-famous, including Trent Dalton, Leah Purcell, Shane Gould, Bryan Brown
and Merrick Watts.
Evocative, funny and sometimes bittersweet, 28 people
remember the pools that shaped their childhoods. Everyone who has ever dived
into their local Olympic pool, bush waterhole or saltwater baths will want to
submerge themselves in this beautiful book.
'A joyful, moving, nostalgic and original take at what it means to be Australian. Dive in!' —Robert Drewe
'These immersive stories remind us that the swimming pool is
not just the place we first learn to sink or swim. It's a space of respite and
renewal, playtime and pilgrimage, limerence and liminality, community and
connection. Dive in – go on – I double dare you.' —Sian Prior
'Crisscrossing the nation, spanning generations and histories, these stories celebrate the joy and freedom of being a body in water. Read it while beside your favourite b

Very Soft Blanket NOT Only For Women and Girls Go For it Guys - BUY THE BLANKET

This bed, sure, gentle, soft queen, blanket for bed, cozy, soft, fall, blankets, for women, cute large fall throws for girls, orange, 90 X 90 inches is sold by:
BEDSURE a seller that is located in CHINA
The product is made in CHINA
The product arrived in a box with a label, stuck on it not like packaging. You would see if you were buying a blanket at a retail store.
Upon removing it from its airtight inner sealed bag, it had a very strong chemical odor to it, and it was very smashed. I placed it in the dryer on high heat for 10 minutes and it really did help to remove the odor and fluff the blanket up.
I'm a little confused why this blanket is only for a woman and girls? At least that's what I had for when I read the title of the listing so I guess if you are a man, you cannot have this blanket kind of odd and if I were the seller, I would change that because it definitely will affect search results...
I used the blanket on top of my bed as an actual comforter. My bed is a full-size bed. I ordered a queen size blanket, and it covers it nicely.
It is probably one of the softest blankets I have ever felt in my life and yes, I would recommend this if you were in the purchase for a nice large, soft, cozy blanket!

Great size, comfortable blanket
Color: Off White, Size: Full
I Love this blanket. It’s so soft and I sleep with it every night. It’s held up well since I’ve purchased it months ago. There’s very minimal shedding/ lint. I would give it a good wash and dry to help with that before using. Great value for money would purchase again. I have a full size bed and it fits very nicely.
