this might be a stretch but i think it might be about a relationship.
This summer I went swimming,
This summer I might have drowned
But I held my breath and I kicked my feet
And I moved my arms around, I moved my arms around.
it may have been a first love, but the speaker is talking about how he was all into the relationship at first, and ultimately could have drowned with how deep he got into it. though, he held his breath and kicked, moved about and stayed afloat.
This summer I swam in the ocean,
And I swam in a swimming pool,
Salt my wounds, chlorine my eyes,
I'm a self-destructive fool, a self-destructive fool.
he had different experiences (ie., strokes), different places to wade, etc. while these lyrics are very simple and convey the physical meaning, i think salt my wounds, chlorine my eyes could also mean some sadness in that summer relationship.
i'm a self-destructive fool, well, we've all been there.
