This is the hangout of choice these days.  C and B play various pool games of their own devising; in this case, they perch on the edge of the pool and count to ten at the top of their lungs.  Then C plunges in and skids across the pool to the other side, while B lowers himself gingerly and scoots forward a little, panting with shock at the cold.
