I did not get a chance to soak in the other pools, I swam in the creek and was going to get out down by the crab cooker but at the time there were a lot of people in womb so I just spent most of my time in the Arizona pool. The sand bags seemed to be in place in the Arizona pool, the water in the pool was very warm, not much of the creek water was flowing into the pool. There were spots that you could sit and have the water above chest level, I usually did not sit all the way down in the pool but rather chose to sit on the sides, only partially submerged.
