The morons who run our indoor city pool:
- have an annual deficit of nearly $400,000
- do very little to increase revenues
- do not put in more than two lanelines for lap swim ("the cost for the lifeguards to do this would add $x to our costs")
- do not put the flags back in after free swim
:bitching:
Now, they have decided to close the pool from 13-19 December for "budget reductions". They will shut the heater off, dropping the temp from 86 to probably 74 over the week. Then, they will push the heater to max and try to get the pool back up to temp in one day.
:bitching:
- They do not use pool covers, which would cut their heating bill by 40% or so.
:bitching:
- They have not considered lowering the year round temp by a degree or two, the savings from which would more than make up for not closing the pool for a week - WHEN THE KIDS ARE ALL OUT OF SCHOOL!
