Summer is upon us and the heat and humidity are enough to make anyone wish for a pool! I also really want to start teaching the boys how to swim and make sure they aren't afraid of water. With all of our allergies chlorine is just not our friend so trips to the local pools are few and far in between. So I blew up the pool and the boys thought it was the greatest thing. I put it under our big oak tree so while it was hot out we weren't in the direct sun and I wouldn't have to worry about sunblock. The boys got a few swims in it until we had a week and half of nothing but rain. I put a tarp over it but that blew away. After me training I came back to a moldy disgusting pool that the boys really wanted to swim in. So I deflated it and pulled out the gloves and cleaner and got to work. For all of 5 minutes!! I realized quickly that I would be scrubbing for probably most of the day and even then who knew if I would feel like I got all of the mold off. I calculated the $30 I paid for the thing and decided it was worth it to just get another one :-) I've hesitated though because I'm not sure how to not let that happen again- so if anyone has any ideas let me know!
