Your guide to activities and fun things to do with your preschoolers, toddlers and kids in Saint Louis, MO

We're suffering from cabin fever in our house and have decided to take our kids swimming at a local indoor pool this weekend to combat the in-house boredom. Our favorite indoor swimming destination is located in St. Charles County at the Rec-Plex.

The St. Peters Rec-Plex Natatorium features a 130 foot water slide and a swirling vortex for older kids. There is a shallow area for young children which includes a giant water bucket that slowly gathers and cascades water. For parents, there is a lap pool, sauna and hot tub as well as a diving tower. The Rec-Plex offers child care with "Tot Drop"  Monday-Friday from 8:30-1:00, Monday-Thursday 4:00-8:30, Friday 4:00-7:00 and Saturday from 8:00 am- Noon. Whether you choose to take the kids with you swimming or drop them off while you relax in the hot tub, The Rec Plex pool is a fun way to warm up and exercise on a cold winter day.
