Summer Fun with Ziegler

Summer's best kept secret, well a late Summer's best kept secret is right in the heart of downtown Cincinnati, Ziegler Pool.

Now, let me just start by saying that I LOVE to swim. My parents would drop off me and my older brothers to our local swim club growing up. I started swimming at the early age of 5 or 6 years old. My parents made sure we were all great swimmers - we all can swim well- except my Mom. She never learned to swim, but we are working on that :)

I decided that since my hair has gone back to being natural this would be the perfect time to start picking up swimming again. Yes, I am a Black girl who swims - who actually gets under the water and lets her hair get wet :) When I have children I am for sure going to make sure they know how to swim as well. There has been too many deaths due to children, especially minority kids not knowing how to swim.

I met up with Markus, the director of the pool - who knew me and my family from our old swim club days. It's truly a small world! Ziegler pool is making sure everyone who comes to the pool is safe and stays healthy during this crazy time! I felt completely safe after hearing and reading about all the safety precautions such as:

• -Wearing a mask while entering and in the common areas
• -Signing up for 3 sessions with a maximum amount of people during each session
• -They clean and sanitize the pool after each 2 hour swim session

You can listen to more details in the video below with Markus. I encourage everyone to check out Ziegler pool this season while you still can!
