I swim at the millpond
It's a place many schools laughed about
It's not the "ultimate natatorium"
It doesn't have all the latest technology
It doesn't have all the huge crowds
It's a place of work
It's a place where I control what I become

It's a place to learn about goals
It's a place to learn about limits
It's the place that I swim
Nobody's laughing anymore
