The condo complex where I live has an outdoor pool, but it's closed between 
Labor Day and Memorial Day.  There's a rec center here in town, but I've 
never taken Sarah to the pool there.  It's overwhelming for me, with all the 
kids running around and splashing, and the noise, and I've never quite 
figured out how to handle the situation well without sight.  We took Sarah 
to a big water park last summer, but I HAD My stepkids there to help me.  I 
suppose a pool party could work if there were enough adult supervision, but 
I'm thinking it might be better when Sarah is a few years older.  She does 
love the water, though.  She has an inner tube with a seat in the middle of 
it that she floats in, but I'm thinking she'll have outgrown that by next 
summer.
