Chlorine and sunscreen

Chlorine and sunscreen. The second I smell that combination, I’m back at the neighborhood pool in the middle of July with wet towels everywhere, somebody yelling “no running,” and a bag of chips that somehow tasted better after swimming all afternoon. Summer had a very specific smell when I was a kid.
