The Community Pool

Last week I went to the Dubuque recreation department and purchased a swim pass for our family. It cost only $94 for all 5 of us for the summer season. I thought this was a great deal for the use of 2 different outdoor pools. The only strange thing is that you have to sew your ID tag on your swimsuit. It is made of hard plastic and is 1/2 x 2 inches. Well, what if you want to wear a different suit than the one the tag is on? They told me you can wear a different swimsuit, but you have to always show the suit with the ID tag on to get in.

David took the girls to the pool last Saturday and Sunday in the afternoon and they had a great time. The pool is open in the evenings until 9pm, so because it was hot tonight we all decided to go. I was very impressed! The pool is about 10 minutes away and has two water slides, a zero depth beach pool, diving boards, spray fountains/kid climb on area/wading pool, sunbathing areas, sand box/play area and concessions. I know where we will be spending our hot summer days!
