Swimming!
My local municipality — the Town of Hempstead — owns several community pools. Use is restricted to residents, who must pay a small fee to use the pool.
But those of us who live in Levittown … when Bill Levitt built these houses, he also created community parks and swimming pools. Levittown, and the parts of Wantagh and Hicksville where Levitt built, Is a special tax district. If you live in the district, you can use the Levitt pools, and you don’t pay a fee. You simply go to Levittown Hall, fill out the paperwork and show proof of residency, and they will hand you a season pass to the pools. The pools open Father’s Day weekend and close right after Labor Day.
Of course I get a pool pass every summer. It takes about 15 minutes for me to walk to the nearest pool.
Between the weather and other commitments,I haven’t had a chance to go to the pool. Until yesterday, that is.
And it felt so good…
That's nice. We have pools owned by the city, but they cost. They are also not nearby and crowded. Were we used to live the community pool was just down the street, free with the homeowner dues (not an HOA), or an entry fee for others.
ReplyDeleteHow very cool. Glad to hear you finally got a chance to go swimming.
