Swimming-For Fun

On Friday the kids and I hit the road early and were the very first people at the pool.

I wanted to be there when it opened at 9 a.m. because for those first two hours on Fridays the pool is open only to the young kids. I figured it'd be hard enough keeping up with two by myself without having them get lost in a big crowd.

It was a pretty good plan. Except for the fact that it's just not that hot yet at 9 a.m., at least not on this day.

Soon after we arrived some daycare group came in, then another type of childcare group even after them. Even so, it was not too crowded at all.

This was our first time at this particular pool, which is in the same park complex where the children have tennis lessons and recently participated in soccer.

It was awesome for little kids. It seemed like half the pool was no deeper than their mid thighs and much of that was not even above their knees.

As you can see, there is a cool mushroom waterfall, some fountains, a dinosaur slide, some buckets that will drop water on your head and fun stuff like that. We'll definitely be going back!

Here are the pics.
