It's been unusually hot here lately (today was our third day over 100, VERY atypical for Oregon City) so today we decided to check out the city swimming pool. It's only about 2 miles away so we loaded up the bike and headed to the pool.
They have an indoor pool which ranges from 3' to 12', with a slide and diving board on the deep end, and and outdoor kiddie pool, which is about a foot deep. We opted to swim indoors, as it was much cooler; so for an hour or two the kids swam around using the provided noodles and floating pads. By the time we got out Travis was pretty comfortable putting his face in the water, and could do a credible back float, things I believe he learned last year at swimming lessons. But we never ventured down the water slide; looks like that will wait for another day.
At 2:00 they closed the indoor pool for lessons so then we headed to the outdoor pool for about 30 more minutes. There were lots of kids there and several of them had various floats that they graciously let both Hailey and Travis use. After 30 more minutes we dried off, changed into our bike cloths, and rode home.
Everyone had a great time, and I'm sure we'll be revisiting the pool in the near future.
