The kids start asking about when the weather will be nice enough to swim again just a few weeks after Gram and Grumpy's pool closes. While their hot tub is at least a chance to get in the water, it isn't really swim-able, though the kids certainly try. At least a few times a winter we usually make it to some sort of pool or waterpark, but with COVID, everything is closed or too populated.
Auntie Jen found a great option: the gym near her house, geared toward the senior community, rents their pool by the hour. Yesterday, we stopped by her house to have lunch and visit with her new kitty, Monday, then took an early afternoon swim in an olympic sized pool- just us! The kids probably could have stayed the whole afternoon. Luckily for the grown-ups, the water was actually warm, so it was nice to be in the water. At a time where we are just about fed up with quarantine and snow and winter, swimming was just what we needed!
