SWIMMING

We swim at our local park district pool. As you can imagine, it's both a humorous and frustrating experience.

PROS:
1. Conviently close (walkable but usually we drive)
2. CHEAP (winter session $20.00 for 10 weeks & spring $15.00 for 7 weeks)
3. The multitude of lifeguards who keep us safe while eating, socailizing, & jumping rope (safety first)!

CONS:
1. Limited time for adult lap swim (adult lap swim is a loose term).
2. The characters who swim beside us! So far, there have been 2 deep-end explorers who smiled at us as we swam above them, a snorkler who managed flip turns, wet suit wearers, and floaters.
3. Unspoken rules, appropriate lane sharing, and courtesy are not followed.
4. 2 or more swimmers pushing off the wall at the same time!
