Pool Pass
Wednesday, March 31st, 2010Summer in a small southern town brings two things to mind…Heat and Humidity. We lived in this same town about five years ago so we remember the hot temps and sticky humidity that creeps up during summer. The only way to stay cool and refreshed is to have access to a swimming pool. We asked some friends their recommendations on area pools and came to find that they joined a pool last summer that they absolutely loved. Bingo! We are official members of one of the local country clubs for the summer.
The last two summers, my husband has been away on deployment and not been able to spend time with our family. Jack and I had the opportunity to visit family in PA for months at a time and took advantage of the nice swimming pool in his grandparent’s neighborhood. My husband was a big swimmer growing up, and he still is. He has been looking forward to swimming with Jack and teaching him all his techniques. Jack has come a long way from two years ago. Thanks to the help from his grandmother, he has learned a lot already. I’m so anxious to see how he does this summer with daddy’s help.
I have a feeling we’ll be living at the pool, since there isn’t a whole lot to do in the hot hot sun here. The heat is terrible at times so the pool will be our escape. Being pregnant, I think the pool sounds like a great idea, although being in a bathing suit, maybe not so much. The friends Jack has made so far also have memberships which will make it more enjoyable. Opening day is the beginning of May so we will have our suits, sunscreen, flip flops and towels ready to ring in summer.
