We also live in a townhouse community and have the availability to utilize our community pool as well, which is a great option. My brother and sister-in-law have a beautiful pool and are kind enough to open it to us all summer long. It is because of my mom friends, that my kids have access to swimming pools each summer. One of the most important parts of motherhood is finding your “tribe” – a group of fellow parents with kids close in age - this could be family and/or friends. If you are a family without a pool, don’t fret, you can still get outdoors and splash away with your little ones this summer. I am happy to report, however, that our kids have had plenty of water-play experience nonetheless. I will admit though, once I became a mom, I missed our family pool – especially for the sake of my kids. When my brother and I left the “nest,” my parents decided to sell their pool and add some beautiful landscaping, along with a waterfall to fill the open space in their backyard. We would even hold Olympic events like water gymnastics and relay races, which of course my big brother always seemed to win. I have so many fond memories of playing mermaid and dolphin trainer in that pool. I remember being in 4 th grade when our family purchased a swimming pool.
