We Joined a Pool This Summer!

This summer we tried something new...we joined a pool!  There is an aquatic center not far from our house.  It was costly but worth the money for the season.  It has a zero-depth pool, a kiddie area, waterslides, and sand to play in. It's never crowded and we spend most of our days there this summer!  The kids had a blast and a lot of times, we brought our friends with us.  I feel that the kids got themselves much more comfortable in the water this summer.  It was way bette than swim lessons because they kind of got to teach themselves. Daddy got to come with us a few times too.  Gracie went down the watersides all by herself and even with no floaty!  Evie then started going down the waterslides too!  Gracie leaned to swim in the deep end a little bit by herself.  She is cautious and even jumps in without anyone.  All the kids learned to use a mask and go underwater!  The little ones even got the hang of floating and kicking and using their arms.  I am so proud of all them!  We loved swimming here this summer and will probably join again next summer!
