the sweet life » Play Pool
Last summer the Champaign Park District opened the completely renovated Sholem Aquatic Center, which we visited a handful of times. We really enjoyed the zero-depth pool, lazy river and kids activities during the brutally hot summer days. However, it tended to be very crowded, with very little shade available if you weren't in the pool.
Consequently, we were really excited when we found out that as University staff members we could buy a day pass to the equally new CRCE Aquatic Center on campus w/o purchasing a full-time membership. CRCE has a large indoor (yay shade!) zero-depth pool with all sorts of fun activities, including a nice slide. Best of all, because the summer is a slow time with students gone, the pool was almost deserted when we visited yesterday. Anna slept the whole time we were there, but Cooper had a blast. Can't wait to visit again.
Ah yes, summer! Our gym has a 0 degree pool that we love and I sense that we will be there all summer...
