Atlanta saw a record high temperature of 98 degrees this Sunday, beating out 1995's June 8 record by one degree. This kind of heat is not just uncomfortable, it can be down right debilitating. So to combat its force, I went to my local swimming pool that is owned by a neighborhood friend, Margaret Harrington. Also in her 90s, Margaret has kept her retro backyard pool open to neighbors and friends for nearly sixty years. The number of people who she's taught to swim and dive (including myself) is legendary.
Photographed is Lily, doing what every Atlantan wished they could have been doing this past sweltering Sunday.
