News : Water... fun! While some fight flood, many area residents enjoy pool

"Superman!" Hunter Worthen dives from the high board into the Vinton pool on Friday.

More Friday pool participants...

One of the ironies of Iowa weather: On a perfect day for going to the pool, scores of area residents were involved in working against, not playing in, the water.

But for many area children (along with some parents and, of course, the lifeguards), Friday was a great day to visit the pool, where being "up to here" in water is a good thing.
