What Kind of Swim Club are they Running Over There???

Ok, so we were guests at this pool today with our moms friends. And they were giving swim tests to little kids so they could go on the big swirly slide. WE LOVE THAT SWIRLY SLIDE!!! So if the kids want to go on the slide, they have to do a lap of freestyle, one lap of backstroke, and then tread water for a minute. Seriously, some of these kids were only five years old and they were expected to do that? And to make it even worse, the dude giving the test stops you early if you don't do something right. Seriously, all of this just to go on a swirly slide? Come on! Summer is almost over and a few innocent children want to go on a swirly slide that's super fun!!! Please, if it were up to us, all you would have to do is swim a lap of doggy paddle, tread water for thirty seconds, and eat an ice cream. (to make them feel good about themselves) But what kind of people are we to judge what good swimming is, after all, we aren't that much better then those five year olds. And as an additional outrage, the snack bar wasn't serving soft-serve ice cream!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How are we to survive??????? And we thought we were acting dumb when we thought a long, slimy, green hose was a venomous snake. How do you normally serve soft-serve ice cream and then suddenly "run out"? IT'S CRAZY!!!!!!!!! What kind of swim club are they running over there?


And again... HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMA!!!!!!!!
