[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not addressed to the OP, but if you live in Arlington or Alexandria (or another area with good public facilities) why do you pay for a pricey pool membership when the public pool options are decent and so much cheaper?

Not snark, just genuinely curious[/quote]

I live in MoCo and think the public pools are great - but they're also horribly overcrowded during the weekends.  Also, a lot of kids unsupervised in the pools and while they're having a great time, it's overwhelming for younger kids - and me.  I got kicked in the face last summer (cut lip, bleeding) with kids horseplaying pretty roughly and the life guard just staring into space.  Even the baby pool is packed and parents aren't very mindful of the kids so it stops being fun and more stressful.

Every once in a while during the summer I will get off work and take DCs to the public pool nearby because they have slides and a tube/lazy river.  But it's early and before the camps descend.  [/quote]
