When I was growing up, my family lived across the street from a public swimming pool. I pretty much lived there all summer. It started in the morning with swimming lessons, then throughout the day, and even for a couple of hours at night. Those are great memories. Then, when water parks started popping up in Illinois, I took my summer fun to the next level.
