I know this post was awhile ago, but I was amazed at the description of the pool and the bubble. Could you tell me where this was located? I grew up in Spring Branch. I remember as a kid (8 or 9) going to my friends house and she had teenage brothers. I remember hearing them talking about going to the pool where you could breathe underwater! It was far away, so plans were discussed for days in advance. I rarely said a word to these boys, so I never asked questions. My friend lived two houses down, so when this "big trip" was being planned, I went every day to hear all I could about the adventure. I couldn't conceive of a pool where you could breathe underwater, and to my young mind, it seemed as far away and as magical as Disneyland. This just has to be the pool they were talking about and planning to go to. Unfortunately, I only remember the planning. I don't remember them talking about it after, although I'm sure they did! I'm sure that they also got home long after dark, so my young self was home in bed. That's just amazing. I can't believe that after all this time, I found out what those boys were talking about. It just has to be the Gateway Pool. ETA: Main near Kirby. That was a looong way away from my house in Spring Branch when I was 8 years old!
