The Venetian pool opened just in time. When I was 10 years old I could walk to the pool and get in for 5 cents. Now you have to have an adult drive you there and pay $10 to get in for a swim. Sure, when I was young the walk was up the hill (both ways) and it was always raining. The Red Cross people gave free swimming lessons.
