Swimming




In the spirit of all the 4 year olds and school agers going on fieldtrips, the 2 and 3 year old classes go occasionally as well. They took their first pool trip to Gypsy Hill Park to partake in the baby pool there. Prior to leaving, we realized the pool did not open quite as early as we thought it did. To kill some time we let the kids play on the park playground for a bit and then took them to the pool. When paying the admission to the pool, we were told the baby pool was closed for mechanical repairs. This was NOT GOOD! The most shallow part of the big pool is only 2 feet deep, but that depth only lasts a short distance. Luckily, we had some wonderful parents and grandparents that went with us on our trip and were able to get into the pool with the kids to stick with the children they were responsible for a little better. Then to top it all off . . . 5 minutes after we arrived and got the children into the pool, the lifeguards blew the whistle for the Adult Swim and we had to get all the kids to the side of the pool. What a mess! Despite the great disappointment in not being able to use the facilities we had hoped, the day went pretty well! We are planning on going again mid July.
