Leisure Pool at Campus Rec Center

Leader: Aya

  We went to Rec center which is located to next to main library to do swimming pool. There were rocker room before the pool area, and shower room so that everyone can enjoy swimming without worrying anything. I saw wide range of age of people there. There were parents and kids, woman who is pregnant, elderly and students. Some people were just hanging out in hot tub. Some people were playing in leisure pool. some peolpe were doing zumba for exercising. We were playing in a swimming pool at first, but I was just chilling out in hot tub soon. We had really good time in swimming pool in rec center. I would like to go there sometime soon.

       I should be with my group and swam together, but unfortunately I lost my swimming suit before I went there. I couldn't feel the water in the pool but I can write about the facilities in it. The locker room made a deep impression on me because of its design. When I went inside, I could easily find the toilet area, changing area, shower area and the locker area. I stayed in the locker area and found that it only takes 25 cent to use the locker once. However, if you go there, before you lock the door, you need to leave a rope outside to keep the key on your body. Also, if you wear glasses, make sure that you have already put it into the locker. Another important thing I want to mention is, watch out when you sit in front of lockers, because if someone open it, your head might be hit. I tried once. Although I couldn't swim with my teammates, it's a happy trip.

            Our group went swimming last Friday in the Leisure Pool. It was very interesting. I always want to go swimming and lose weight, but this actually was the first time that I have been swimming in Iowa. The Leisure Pool was very good. It had two parts. One part was for entertainment, and the other was professional. I spent all of my time in the first one, but I also observed the professional pool. In the first part, there was a small pool which has warm water, and we stayed there for a long time because it was really comfortable. I think it was a very good place for fun. I also saw many people took a dancing class in the water. The other part was very professional and very big. I wanted to swim in the big pool, but I was too shy, so I gave up. Comparing with the Leisure Pool, many swimming pools are smaller in China except the professional swimming pools. Those long sides are 25m, and width sides are 10m.The reason is most of people go swimming for fun. The professional pools usually do not open to the public, so I do not know what they are look like. To sun up, I think Leisure Pool is very fun, and I will go to the professional pool next time.
