I do not know about you, however practically every kid I've got to know or ever come across with in my lifetime needed to wade within the pool all day long, if they were only allowed you know they would. I suppose if these youngsters were allowed to remain within the pool forever, you would have to drag them out tooth and nail! My very own kid desires to be continually, and I mean forever, within the water. I was looking at him the other day and I think he is starting to grow a set gills and a tail!
My point being I have never known a child who did not undergo what I think of as the "water baby" stage. I have asked friends and acquaintances and they all share the identical story.

It could have a salt-water pool, at a beach, in a tub or perhaps just a water basin!

for a pool of our own, a ray of hope, not to mention the smile it put on our faces as we looked at the prices of obtaining one. My heart raced as I considered swimming and relaxing in our own pool.
