11/10/2004 Entry: "Redmond Pool"

No blogging the past few days, because my grandson is staying at home with me now and I'm having to fit online stuff into caring for him. I want to try writing in the evening, but I get tired!

I've always enjoyed Liralen's posts (both livejournal and her other journal) about taking her son to the rec center with the fancy pool: "Jet had a blast swimming. He ran and ran and swam and swam. He jumped on the rope for the showers and swung and sprayed everything. He played in the fountains, splashed another baby, and generally had a blast. He played full blast the whole time. He really liked resting and paddling around the hot tub for a bit."

I looked in this area for a similar recreation center but didn't find one. I did find the Redmond pool which is run by the Northwest Center, so I took R---- there yesterday for family swim. It really worked out well! R---- was comfortable in the water, stopped hanging on to me with a death grip after a few minutes, and played with toys in the water. We watched intently as two little girls had a swimming lesson. Maybe I'll sign us up for a toddler swim class!
