Do You Visit the Pool

hi dorannmwin , along time a go yes i visit pool but now never been there again cause i really hate with people to swim in pool cause urine every where in that water pool yeeeaaaaakhhhh...... make me sick of it

Living in a tropical country makes me wanna stay in water for hours and hours! I live in a place where pools are so popular because the seas are far from us. My family loves the beach so much. And we're not very fond of going to the pool. We only go there occasionally. But we would really prefer going to beach resorts. Nevertheless, I wish and hope you had a great summer. Enjoy and have lots of fun with your kids!

My in-laws taught the children to swim while they had them at their place during the summer. When we moved up here, we got a 2nd and put a pool in. The kids love it.

We are lucky enough to have our own pool so we go in most days as it has a removable cover on it so the weather doesn't hamper our swimming. Picture included of me, my daughter and my little granddaughter in the pool.

I like to got to the beach...to the pool i go very rarely!

We don't get to go to a public pool as much as I would like. We simply don't have the money to do that but I did buy an inflatable family pool and my son and I enjoy it a lot. We have used it several times this year. Its deep enough that he can jump in, kick and splash and I can rest in it comfortably. It comes up to my chest.

hi dorannmwin oh do I wish we had a local pool around that I cou ld get to as swimming is great exercise fo us with arthritis and any type of leg problmes. I c annot go ou t and walk for an hour like I used to and swimming would give me the same benefit but alas there is now where close here that I can go too, and Gold Crest has no pool or any other athletic equipment that would help us to burn u p calories and lose weight.When we lived in Arizona I used to go to the pool in Tempe a lot and kept myself in pretty good shape too.

As you know we do have a membership to our community pool, we also have free access to the pool at my gym but that is more difficult because we have to follow their aquatics schedule and the shallow end is still too deep for my youngest kids. Our community pool starts at 1.5 ft deep so the youngest can stand alone there. None of my kids have ever had formal swim lessons though because I cannot afford it. They are teaching themselves to swim. The oldest does well enough to pass tests to get into the deep end at our pool, and the twins can doggy paddle well enough that they passed the test to use the slide at the pool which ends up in the 4.5 ft deep section where they cannot touch.

Dora- We are very blessed to live in a division with a pool. We rent a townhome currently, so we have one available to us for free (well, included in our rent). We try to go several times a week, and have enjoyed it. My oldest is now four and though he still uses a swimming life-jacket has taken to the water. He swims the length of the pool now and is like a fish. Our daughter turns two this week and is a fish herself. She has her wings and tube, and takes off after her brother without help! She's a bit of a daredevil, so that does raise our guard at times, and give us gray hairs! I have taught swimming in the past, so I teach my own children. They are still young, so attention spans are limited, but they are picking up the basics such as blowing bubbles, kicking, and floating. Young children have a natural instinct to float, so going with that as a parent is the best place to start. Teaching them to blow out while under water is a great second step. It can be easily done by the stairs. The only recent downer at the pool was I was stung by a yellow jacket, but I'm all better now so it's good! And it did not keep us from continuing our visits.

hi dora, wish there are pools nearby where we could go swimming even just on weekends. but we dont. and here, it gets very expensive to go out each weekend in pools because of the transportation fees and the charges just getting in in the resorts, and lately i get to be in the office even during weekends. yeah, overtime. i miss outing with my daughter and granddaughter. have a nice day. ann

We've went a couple of times this year. I've not had money to take her everyday. they charge $3 a person. hopefully next year i'll be able to plan a little better about us going now that I know we can go down there. We have to drive and they are only open like 6 hours of the day. It's a nice area pool though and they have added extra life gaurds that rae trained with the red cross.

As far as I am concerned, I think I am so sorry to say that I seldom have a visit to the pool, just for there are few pools in my area. In that case , the fee of the pool is usually so high for me. So I just choose not to go to the pool to enjoy life. Personly speaking, I still love swimming so much.

Actually no I don't visit the pool now if I had my own pool I would be there everyday you know because I love to swim just not in public pools I have my reasons many reasons actually, but yeah hopefully one day I will be able to buy a pool so that I can swim in it everyday.

Yeah, I do visit the pool. Used to do it often but nowadays, as I really don't have much time due to my exams, its not really that often. One time I remember when I went to the pool with my family. There were five of us. The pool was pretty deep but since I knew how to swim, I knew I could swim in it. I enjoyed my time there. Hope to visit again in a couple of months. :-)

We go swimming in the pool at the campground. It is good therapy for my son. It doesn't cost anything to swim in it, except for our seasonal fee to camp.

When I was younger I went swimming on a regular basis. I lived close to a lovely warm swimming pool. Then I moved to where I live now. Here the local swimming pool has cool water in the adult pool. The children's pool is warm but frequently closed. One time I had to take my niece into the middle section of the adult pool. Now I have a disabled toddler son and a baby daughter I would like to enroll them in swimming lessons. It was a shame when the pool in Bridge Water closed down. It was a lovely warm swimming pool with a wave machine.

At our apartment complex, we have 2 pools to choose from. They are not heated, but one pool is always warmer than the other because the sun hits one all day. Although our daughter loves to go swimming, we don't go their every single day because of the chlorine and sun - not good for her eczema. But she and Daddy do try to go every other day if possible - and they go closer to evening to avoid too much sun. Definitely it's a great form of exercise - I know I get pooped just from playing around in the pool (not even doing laps) and I'm a horrible swimmer! We haven't put her in official swim lessons yet because of her personality and temperament . . . but perhaps by next year. We are members at the Y, and we can use their indoor pool as well . . . it's away from the sun, but it has tons of chlorine in it. We don't use it often because the pools are right at home, but we have gone a few times. But when it's time for my daughter to take lessons, most likely it will be there. Baby son can't swim yet, but he sure already loves the pool! Kick, kick, kick!
