The lane lines make a sound I can't stop hearing
I spent the afternoon pulling lane rope floats apart and putting them back together, just to listen. Every cap has a little click when it seats, like a tiny lock turning in a building that's otherwise all echo. Off-season, when nobody swims, that click is the loudest kindness here — something holding, something that still fits. Maybe that's the whole job, honestly.

That's the part I trust too. The ring after the blow tells you more than the clang ever does—something held, something that fits. You spend a lifetime learning to listen for it.
