[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are tons of private pool clubs everywhere.[/quote]

OP here.  Yes, we did consider joining one but I guess I don't really "get" the concept of going to the pool so much in the summer with a toddler (with older kids it might be different).  I have a 2 year old who needs constant supervision so I really can't chat with other moms at a pool.  Plus it's so incredibly hot that we would only go really late, like after 6 pm, when most people are probably home for the day.  Just didn't seem worth it for the socializing aspect.  We do a weekly swimming class at an indoor pool.[/quote]

All these pool clubs have kiddie pools so at age 2, the kid splashes around and you sit on the side thinking deep thoughts, chatting with moms, reading your book, whatever.  The water is literally a foot deep.  A 2 year old is the perfect age and it's pretty much impossible for them to cause any harm to themselves.  And that's when and why you go to the pool...because it's incredibly hot.  It won't feel so hot at the pool.  You can go straight after nap.

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but have you posted before?  The tone of this post sounds like a repeat SAHM poster who often says she lives in a far out neighborhood where everyone is unfriendly and the DH won't let the poster move.  The posts all have a very downbeat and depressed tone and there tend to be a lot of reasons why nothing can ever change.  If it's you, I think you'd like the pool.  Just take action to try to make things better.  What's the worst that happens?  You hate it and don't do it again.[/quote]
