Yesterday I found and retrieved a piece of jewelry from the bottom of the pool. This is my ninth piece (mostly earrings) for the year, a new PR. They have all been cheap/fashion pieces except for one, which was a tiny antique silver pendant with a diamond chip in it. Why you'd wear jewelry into a pool is a mystery to me, but it takes all kinds.
Anyone else ever find anything interesting?

Recently I noticed a piece of rope probably 8 inches long with two lead washers affixed to the end on the lap lane, near the end of the lap. I picked it up, examined it and then threw it to the wall figuring it was some unknown and possibly important/mystical pool maintenance device. As it turns out it was a little gizmo a fellow lap swimmer used to calculate how far along he was in his workout. I guess he would incrementally move it down the lane line for each 100 or so.
I apologized profusely. That was my blunder.
