Poop in the pool

So what a better way to spend a very cold Iowa winter day than swimming, or at least we thought it was a good idea.....we put our swimsuits on and of course our several layers over the top of the swim suits and headed for the local YMCA for some afternoon swimming today. We were in the pool enjoying Emma and Bella swimming in the deep end with their noodles and swim jackets when the lifeguards started blowing their whistles to get out of the pool. This of course worried me because in all the times we have swam there we have not had to get out of the pool until we were ready. So after we got out and wrapped up in our towels we noticed the young lifeguards putting on the rubber gloves and getting the skimmers out. And what to our wondering eyes should appear was POOP! One lifeguard states "there is so much this is going to take forever!" and that it did, we went into the other pool which was much too cold for our taste so decided to go. In the time we swam in the big pool got a 3 and 4 year old out of swimsuits and Ben and I changed out of our suits (which all this takes a long time) they were still cleaning the pool! What a day, I don't think we will be swimming for a while. And just to note the incident was in the shallow end and we were in the deep end so at least we were on the opposite side of the pool from the poop :)
