Homeschool and Leisure Center Pool

We had fun today despite having to catch up on tons of homeschooling. We broke off for long enough to walk through town and find the community pool. The place is massive with 3 indoor pools but we only had an hour to swim so stuck to the little one.  Back home in the US there are no big community supported Leisure Centers but some areas have a semi-private similar system called YMCA. It was well worth the cold walk home and I am glad we visited this one.  The large wide-open changing room was a bit of an awkward surprise for these dull Americans though.  I didn't realize until it was too late that I had sent Chris in alone to what must be a male version of the same setup.  The smart boy turned right around and brought his clothes into the WC he had noticed in the hall where he dressed without embarrassment.  Now that we are prepared it won't be as uncomfortable if we go back.  Hopefully.

As for the school work, both Tweens kicked butt, getting several days' worth of assignments done.  Maddy even wrote a play about the Reformation featuring Henry VIII.  Poor Chris is having to slog through endless fractions.
