Beach or the pool? That’s a difficult question!

My hometown is a beach town. I have many good memories at the beach. When I felt stressed, I could drive to the beach and relax. However, I hate sand and the ocean is dangerous!

My hometown's beach!

I also love the pool! In university, I taught swimming lessons to children. I love swimming and I did it for many years. However, I don’t like smelling like chlorine after using the pool. It’s very bad for your hair, too!

All in all, I think I prefer the beach! Seeing the sunset or sunrise on the water is very refreshing. The ocean sounds are very calming.
