I'd think it's worth it. You're building fun memories. Wish I had access to swimming pools.
Last summer, we had a pass to Eagle Island in Meridian. We went like 3 days a week, so I just loaded everything in the red wagon, and only took out the stuff that I needed to wash so that when we went again, I just put the wagon in the back of my car with everything still in it from the last trip! HOWEVER, that was 1 kid...3 may have me singing a different tune!
definitely worth it. they'll thank you later for being "the cool mom who took us swimming every day"
gosh does NOT sound worth it to me!!!! but i am not nearly as good of a momma ss you are ;)
You are doing awesome! We haven't gone yet. :) I admire how much you take your kids to the park and to the splash pad.

I'm tired just reading this Amber! Good for you though, I am sure you have happy kiddos!
I remember those days with Caleb and Emma and Jonathan. Definitely worth it! Nothing wipes out a kid like a trip to the pool! :)
