Summer Swimming

We found a new pool! I can't believe we haven't been there before but I'm glad we found it now.  We are members at the Y and they recently took over a few of the pools in town.  The Cottonwood creek recreation center was one of them.  It has three parts to the pool.  

This is the wave pool.  Every 15 minutes they turn on the waves and it feels like you are in the ocean! It throws you around and Thad absolutely loves it.  It has the zero depth where you can walk into the pool.  


Oliver likes it too.  He likes to walk along the waves. 


The other parts of the pool which I didn't get pictures of are a lazy river with a whirl pool and a big slide.  The lazy river is really neat because it sort of pulls you through it with the current.  There is a whirl pool in the center of it that spins you around like crazy! It feels like you are being flushed down the toilet! I was nervous about Thad going in it by himself and now he is a pro in there! 


Thad asks about every day if we can go to the pool that goes "whoosh, whoosh." I'm glad we have a membership there so we can go anytime we want!
