How many hours were you at the pool this weekend?

Op - older kids go off with friends. If their friends aren’t there they find other kids to play with. Sometimes they play with each other or come find me.

Youngest kid (4 years old) will go off the diving board or slide non stop till he passes out.


Is this a long winded way of bragging that a four year old uses the diving board?


Our 4 year old goes off the high dive.

Do you guys do laundry after every pool trip? The wet suits and towels? Or do you just hang them up?

I just hang them up. Wash them after. Few uses. We have our own pool. I would be doing non stop laundry if I washed them every time.

About 30 minutes Friday night. We were moving this weekend and I would have so much rather been at the pool than tetrising a moving truck.

Everything hurts and I kinda feel like I’m dying 😂😂😂

I love the pool and so do my kids, we probably spent 5hrs at the pool each day, 2-3 hrs when they first open/lunch
And then a post nap/evening pool visit

Zero hours. The last place I want to be when it’s this hot is a crowded pool! The heat makes me hate everyone.

Zero.

We hang them up to dry, and wash everything once a week.

DP- I don’t think of it as a brag. It made me chuckle and think about my son when he was about that age except riding his 2 wheel bike or running outdoors. He would have ridden and ridden until he was made to come inside. He was dx soon after with ADHD. But just would keep going and going.
