Great ideas. Just think how many people would be using the pool in this weather. It's embarrassing and a shame that Peru doesn't have a pool for the people when it is so hot.
I checked into the Princeton Park District which is part of a city about the size of Peru and near us . It seems that we want a pool because the Y is too expensive and I checked the Princeton prices for admission to their public pool and I believe that Peru would also have to charge something similar.
Yes, the Y does have a pool,but you aren't able to do a lot of the activities that were the most fun as I remember then as a kid in Peru. You can't do a cannonball or a flip from the diving board. You can't see who can make the highest splash or do bellyflops learning to dive. You can't warm up by sitting in the sun.

ReplyDeletePeru does have a pool - the YMCA. It is available year round.
ReplyDeleteYes, the YMCA does have a pool but it costs alot of money to be a member.
