Yeah, I live near Pittsburgh and had a few pools while the kids were growing up. Stupid...

Too short of a season, constant messing around with chemicals and cleaning, expense of running a filter, all that malarkey, and the legal risks.

I have a membership at the local YMCA now. Heated indoor pool, 12' deep end, springboards, we can go all year around, no messing with chemicals or cleaning, lifeguards always present, no legal liablilties, shower on their dime & all at once (with 5 kids that's a big plus) - and there's a lot more to do at the "Y" than just swim... hindsight...
