Finally! The End!

THE END

It's All Going Swimmingly Quest (Part 4)

And the Saga continues...

Because of the error I finally just broke down and spent my last three LPs on the Slide task.

Next is easy, get two Sims in the pool and splash one another (once both are in the pool, select one and the option 'splash' should appear), then they need to chat in the pool (4 min) and go talk to the rabbit out front of the Swim Center for 10 minutes.
Lastly, they will need to spend 1 day talking to the rabbit.

This should bring you to 90%

As an aside, based on the way that this challenge has gone I'm going to guess that the Preteen Challenge that is coming up is going to be even harder.

I'm concluding that you will need to build the Elementary School and I'm thinking that is going to set you back some $200,000 or $250,000, so start saving now.

I was up to $90,000 this morning, then built a Beach House Mansion and moved a family in (which set me back some $58,000) 

It's [not] All Going Swimmingly (Part 3)

I am not going to be able to finish this Quest within the time limit.
DO NOT WASTE YOUR LPs on this Quest!!


You will now need to sit in the Lifeguard's chair (I forget how long - I think 12 hours), 
get all the medals in the level one Swimming Hobby (easy if you have 4 Sims all diving at the same time), then you need to stare at the water slide for some 16.5 hours, next, you need to Run Fake Errands for 22.5 hours! 
After all that you will need to pet a stray cat (it will have an exclamation point on it) for 3 hours and then spend 16 hours giving it directions.
This should get you to the 68% mark.
Now, you need to spend 3.5 hours using the water slide.

I keep receiving an error as I'm trying to use the water slide: 'One or more of your Sims were unable to continue their actions when the weather changed'.

I have gone from 31 to 2 LPs on this Challenge. I was hoping that maybe some of the tasks would be long and the rest short, this does not appear to be the case. Every task is long and you should just resign yourself to the fact that you will not finish this task within the time limit, if you did not have the money to build the Swim Center right off the bat.

It's all Going Swimmingly Quest (Part 2)

If you don't already have $150,000 to spend building the Swim Center then you are much more than likely to not meet the time limit on this goal.
I had to spend almost 2 days raising the funds.
After you build the center you need to look at a diving board for 12 hours, have 5 Sims at the pool at one time, admire the trophies and then spend 1 day hiding in the bathroom (I may have the order slightly off). After all this you should be at about 18%. Lastly, you need to talk to the Bunny out front for 8.5 hours.

To be Continued...

It's all Going Swimmingly Quest (Part 1)

The first step is to build the Swimming Center (to the right of the Town Hall)

You will get 5 days and 23 hours- you will be needing every second of it I am sure.

This takes $150,000 (Yikes!!) and 42 hours (Double Yikes!!!)

Right now I only have some $63,000 so my first plan of action is to plant and harvest onions.

I may very well break down and buy some currency using real money, we'll see how far I can get using traditional methods.
