Room 5 arguments

Douglas park school needs a heated swimming pool
heated swimming pools are warm and you don't get cold. A heated swimming pool has warm water in it . A heated swimming pool lets us swim all year round .
Firstly Douglas Park School should have a heated swimming pool because more students will swim without complaining that it is to cold or that they want to get out just after they had gotten in.
secondly students will not lie to their teachers and say that they have forgotten their togs.
Thirdly we could go swimming in the rain and it will still be warm .
I strongly believe Douglas Park School should have a heated swimming pool because it will be warm,and we could hold a triathlon at any time of the year.we can have races with more kids because they will not get cold and we will swim all year round which will make us all better swimmers.
