Yeah, you heard me right, a POOL!
By Anton | July 13, 2009
In all of the hustle and bustle of the past few months, we seem to have neglected to inform everyone of a most exciting find… a pool!
This may not seem like that big a deal to you northerners but when the heat index is well over 100 F, cooling off can be rather important. We had been searching for almost a year now for somewhere where Jac can swim (guess i can use some exercise too). As any of you who know Jac knows, swimming is like air and food to her. Having swam competitively in her high school years, she was really hoping to find somewhere that she could unwind and get her blood pumping.
We happened upon the pool one day when visiting a student. She was helping to setup a party at a sort of a party hall type place and after talking briefly, she told us to take a look around. When we found the pool, it was a horrid mess! Green… really more like a pond than a pool. I swear all it was missing were some lilly pads and cat tails and it would have been complete. We spoke with the man in charge and he told us that the owner was away for a few months. Long story short, we got in touch with him and were given permission to swim any time we want for free!!! I guess he likes the idea that Americans are using his pool and feels it will bring good PR.
We spoke with the man who cleans it and after helping him fix the broken filtration system and teaching him how to us proper chemicals, the pool is now clean and beautiful… and we have a place to cool off a few times a week!
