The funnest thing is...

懸宕已久且極不確定的泳池續約問題,終於安定下來了。

政府突然改變政策,不收高中以下的學生泳池維護費,也就是說,學校有泳池的國小國中生,在每學期註冊費裡,不會再和他們收 "泳池維護費150元"。
別的縣市有沒有取消,這我不知道,但我所在的學校是取消了;
這不起眼的150元,可是足以支撐泳池所有的維護修繕費用,一旦取消了,我們家泳池經營岌岌可危,因為學校不可能做虧本生意!

原本,學校半威脅我們要外包給其他人,但每年都會流標,因為這一個小小的25不標準泳池,沒有SPA或蒸氣室等其他設備,實在太陽春,所以根本沒人想包 = =

後來學校開始考慮閉館,讓我提心吊膽好久。

在過去這三、四年,有無數次,我在心裡偷偷希望學校能關閉它,這樣我的爸媽才不用工作得那麼辛苦,不必一直輪流顧守 (因為泳池收費便宜,再僱用其他人不划算,所以爸媽和我三人,都是救生員和教練)。
而我也不用在休假出外玩的時候,深受腦中爸媽辛苦工作的身影的內疚煎熬。

最有趣的是,當得知它真的很有可能關閉,我竟然依依不捨,感到非常落寞失落!!
這三、四年,泳池是我們家的生活重心,全家圍繞著它打轉。

因為有爸爸的承租,成就現在的我,也小小的改變了上千人的人生 (近四年的學生數累積下來)…
有人成為救生員也考了教練,讓越來越多人學會游泳;
有的人培養游泳的習慣,健康狀況大為改善;
也有的人和我一樣,在這兒交了好多朋友…

面臨可能即將失去的愁悵,我甚至已著手開始準備連署救泳池的活動了…!

後來學校勉強妥協,只開放五至八月,因為只有開放這四個月份,學校和我們才會有賺頭。
可是這樣就失去爸比和我推廣游泳的意義了!
要知道,許多人也在淡季受惠呀!!

坊間很多陽春泳池是如此運作沒錯,那是因為他們是以營利為目的,在夏季大賺一筆就關閉,不願負擔淡季增加的人力及其他成本;
但我們不一樣!!!

經過一番斡旋 (感謝爸比Orz),學校總算答應明年讓我們續租,只不過一、二月得閉館整理,因為一、二月實在是大虧錢的月份。

這實在是令人驚喜意外的結果,皆大歡喜,實在太好了!!
而爸媽也打算在這兩個月,好好的休息喘口氣… :)

走筆至此,我由衷的感謝老天,讓我們的用心得已延續下去。

明年,一起加油,我們也樂得繼續當愚公^^!

後記:體委會最近統計,國人最常從事的運動為散步、跑步和快走,身處四面環海的臺灣,推動游泳運動仍需大家一起努力!

I do not drop many remarks, but I read a bunch of comments
on "The funnest thing is...". I do have some questions for you if you do not mind.
Is it simply me or do a few of these comments look as if they are coming from brain dead
folks? :-P And, if you are writing at other online social sites, I'd like to keep up with
you. Would you post a list of all of all your social
networking pages like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?
