Pool or Recreation Center?

Our city has recently been given some money for the young people of the community. Right now, the city is debating whether we should build a recreation center or a pool. The money should definitely be appropriated into making a pool. Pools are a great way for kids to have social time, are a valuable source of exercise, and can give enjoyment to kids.
First, pools are great for social time. There, kids can simply relax and talk to friends. A pool is also important after a long and stressful day to unwind your muscles and swim around slowly. A pool can also be the source of many games, like tag or Marco Polo. Just simply having drinks and talking to a friend during a hot summer day is almost perfect. I have had experience with this. Our city needs a pool!
Next, pools are a valuable source of exercise. Every week, I go to a pool to just have fun and learn swimming. While doing all that, I'm actually exercising. With the lack of places to exercise, we do need a pool for kids to have fun. While swimming, one can burn 700 calories an hour! We need somewhere that anyone, kids and adults, can exercise and have fun. A pool is the perfect place to do just that!
Finally, pools are a great source of enjoyment. During summer, when a kid's bored, he can easily rush over to the pool to have some fun. In a hot summer day, a kid can easily stay cool by going to the pool surrounded by family and friends. Playing in a pool can easily pass a lot of time, and make the day go by quickly. When one's stressful and hot during a summer day, all he has to do is swim. Swimming is a popular sport, and many in this town enjoy doing it. We have to make a pool!
Thank you for listening to my essay. I firmly believe that our money should be put to use for a pool. It's great for social time and exercise, not to mention it's a important source of enjoyment. Our great city deserves a pool for everyone, the young kids and the adults, not just kids. We must make a pool!
