Spring Break at the Aquatic Center

Written by Sarah Sydor

This is spring break week for Bainbridge Island schools.  If you are on a “staycation” like me, you look to local resources to make the week fun.  Luckily, Bainbridge is packed with good things to do.  Today we ventured to the Aquatics Center. Just to make sure that could give a detailed review on my blog tonight I made sure to try out some of the pool’s best features.

Rope Swing: This is so fun I waited in line twice, towering over children who must have been wondering who the crazy lady was.  The rope swing rocks, and is not just for kids.  EVERY adult resident of Bainbridge should be required to try it once.

Diving Board: There is a low diving board and a high diving board.  As I watched my daughter’s friend Aidan jump with glee from the high board, I moved over to the line for the lower diving board.  That was fun enough for me!

Water Slide: This is 180′ of sliding excitement. Seriously, how many public pools have indoor water slides? I give this a “two thumbs up” and no water up the nose.

Happy Spring Break
