The Gowanus Swimming Club will be opening soon. Three dumpster filled to the brim with NYC drinking water. The location is a secret to anyone not in the know. I am privy to this information, because I’ve been granted permission to jump off a roof into the pool. The depth is about 7 feet. The height of the building 15 feet. I’ll be wearing a safety baseball cap. Red Sox. Certainly can’t be anymore dangerous than jumping off Rooftop in the Quincy Quarries back in 1965. That was 50 feet.
I was only 13.
My age is as secret as the location of the Gowanus Swimming Club.
Someplace north of 50.
Nothing scares the old out of you faster than a death-defying feat.
