During my childhood, there were no indoor swimming pools but I still
remember the swimming classes. They were held in the bay of Kiperi and
lasted all day and week. In the morning, we packed our lunch box and
went to wait for the bus. Every child from our neighborhood was in Kiperi.
As I recall the weather was always warm and sunny. We spent the days
swimming and playing different games. When I grew older, we spent many
fun filled summers in Kiperi.
The beach and camping area in
Kiperi are meaningful places for me. I learned to swim there. It happened
in the year 1976 when I was eight years old. At that time, my uncle
and his wife were the owners of the camping area. That year I spent
many weeks there, in other words I spent dozens of hours in the lake.
Because of that I basically had to learn how to swim. Time certainly
makes memories golden and I still think of that summer as a neat memory.
