Now that you’ve gotten a good grasp on what the Intracoastal has to offer, I’m back to give you yet another option to keep your cool in these scorching months.
I’ve come to realize lately that we Floridians commonly possess something that many others around the country do not – the swimming pool. Growing up as a naïve little pup, my way of thinking was: you have a house, you have a pool. Plain and simple. Now I see that’s not the case.
Lucky for you out-of-staters, friendly as we are in Florida, we extend our plethora of pools outside the home and straight to you.
Community pools are pretty much necessity in the Sunshine State, and we have plenty of them. From aquatic complexes to YMCAs, Boys and Girls Clubs to JCCs, even parks and high schools…all around the county, a pool is never far away no matter where you stay.
I know that as a kid it was virtually impossible to get me out of the water, and going in the pool was number one on my list of summer activities. I’m sure this sentiment extends to most kids out there, so hitting up the pool on those hotter days is a great activity for families.
There was one pool (other than my own) that I remember frequenting as a little girl and it was one of my favorites. I grew up in Coral Springs, up in northern Broward County, and there was (and still is) a place called Cypress Park Pool where I spent a lot of my time. It had the essentials that make up a good pool: diving board, slide, lanes for racing…it had it all.
So consider checking it out on your next trip, or even if you’re looking for something new to do in the area in which you already live. If not Cypress Park pool, there are tons of others available.
And if I haven’t made you feel cooler already just by reading this, then jump, dive, bellyflop, cannonball, slide…anything…into the nearest pool. But do it soon, it’s getting hot out there.
