Summer is over as far as kids are concerned.  It's back to school time and all those fast, euphoric times around the pool with squirt guns and Nerf balls are soon to be faded memories to get us through to May 31, 2011.  Sure, some kids will squeak out another session of roof diving through the end of September. If they're hardcore and hanging onto those summer dreams.

This award-winning documentary illuminates the unlikely pioneers that shaped the way we see pools.  You've got to watch this video.

Our mighty three-day party known as Labor Day Weekend is upon us.  Celebrate summer, do some pool jumping. You know you want it.

when I was a kid, my neighbors garage roof hung close to the his pool but his mom got crazy mad when we'd jump off it. Used to do it at night too! Turn off the pool light and it was freaky. Awesome times!!

Back in New Hampshire where I grew up we didn't have a pool but we did have a creek with a pretty good jumping spot from a bridge. It was sooooooo much fun!
