Maybe we won't be swimming much...

Wow. I was all excited that our town just built a public swimming pool (something they haven't had until now). I just figured up how much it will cost for me to take the kids for ONE VISIT: $26.

Forget swimming every day.

In Germany it would cost us just under $12.

*faints*

Well, we went. Now I see what their intent is. They have a number of waterslides and are trying to bill it as a water park more than a swimming pool. It does have both elements--but on a small scale. I still don't think the prices need to be that high! Or if they are, I wish there was a regular swimming pool somewhere for just swimming. Boy scouts is HUGE in this area, and the one thing the boys always have a hard time passing is the swimming requirement.
