I finally made to the Parkwoods pool!\u00a0 On a stolen moment between King’s camp and jazz band.\u00a0 Few years ago, we stopped joining the pool during the summer.\u00a0 Thing hasn’t changed much, except I found the notice at the entrance that a new water park is on the horizon: a lazy river (on the now the\u00a0playground), water slide, … The construction is scheduled to start the day after the pool is closed, which is Aug 25 2007\u00a0and to be opened on July 1, 2008.\u00a0 The project is funded by bond and increasing the real estate tax.<\/p>\n

We started going there when they were toddlers.\u00a0 King’s tall for his age, so he had no problem going to the main pool.\u00a0 But Pumpkin’s short and younger, couldn’t make the cut despite she’s better swimmer.\u00a0 For the first\u00a0couple of\u00a0years, we had to\u00a0make a do in the toddler’s pool.\u00a0 Some life guards would give her the courtesy and let her stay at the main pool but others won’t – especially duringon a slow time – which’s really\u00a0hurt.\u00a0
\nI still remembered sat them both at the end of the lap pool, when it’s my time to do laps. Making sure their legs – more of feet – hang in the water so I could see their them when I flip turned.\u00a0 They got kick out of it and splash the water lavishly and laughed every time I came around.\u00a0 Lord, they grew up too fast!<\/p>\n

The main pool has a section with 50 meters\u00a0lanes<\/a>, but is only open in the early morning to the master’s swimming club – with additional fee.\u00a0 We’d going in early, surrounded by deadly tranquil environment, removing the dividers from the previous night\u00a0to get the 50m lanes in place.\u00a0 I wondered when the new pool is contracted, will there be a 50m lanes and what do they intend to use it for?\u00a0 Shhhhsssish, frankly, I don’t really care about lazy river nor the water slide, but open up the 50m lanes during the public section would be a good idea.\u00a0 Otherwise, why do they build it in the first place?<\/p>\n
