Visit to the children's pool in Drogichin.
The impression is negative! Everything is provided for an adult, but they forgot about children!!!
What you should pay attention to so that visitors with children are comfortable (!):
1. There was no changing table for a small child in the women's locker room (there is a separate paid "Mother and child" service in the list of pool services), i.e. the pool is provided for small children!), where to put it to change the child's clothes is a question. Even an ordinary table would be fine, it doesn't matter. My mother had to sit on a chair, put the child (8-month-old) on her lap and change his clothes like that. Very inconvenient! It is not possible to put a child on a chair so that he can sit quietly due to his age (8 months). In the absence of a table, another question arises as to how to change clothes for a mother with a child in her arms, since apart from the windowsill and a chair there is nothing else to put the child down and the mother's hands are free.
2. There are only adult lockers in the women's locker room (if there is a CHILDREN's pool!). A 6-year-old child could not reach the shelf to put his things. Either put things on the floor of the locker, which is not hygienic (!), or stand on a chair, which is not safe! There was one hook in the locker, on which all the things could not be hung.
3. While in the children's pool, the knees of the 6-year-old child and the mother were left red, scratched and bleeding! Since the floor in the children's pool is not smooth, but rough, in grains! Traces of blood on the knees are normal!?!
4. In the children's pool, except for wooden peeling boards from 15 years ago, there is nothing for the child to play with. All the equipment (circles, balls, etc.) are hidden in the farm.the room on the 2nd floor at the entrance to the women.the locker room. When asked to give at least something with which the child could play, they replied that they had nothing, bring your own.
5. After the end of the session, another adult arrived at the pool hall (at my request) to help hold the small child while the mother and the 6-year-old child dry their hair and get dressed, since there is no place for an 8-month-old child in the lobby (!) (there are only narrow benches), to which the cashier I made a remark that you can't sit and wait in the lobby if you're not a pool visitor, so you can wait outside!!! Kicking a decent person out on the street is normal for your employee (cashier)!?! Moreover, the man explained that he was expecting a mother with a small child.
These are all negative moments through the eyes (opinion) of a mother with young children when visiting your pool.
I hope the administration of the swimming pool, namely Gymnasium #1 in Drogichina, understood and heard me. And it will make it comfortable for moms with children to stay in the pool and increase their attendance in this category of people!
Among the advantages: the water in the children's pool is clean and warm, there are many towel hooks in the shower, the price of admission is low, and there are hair dryers.
There are a lot of people who are unfamiliar with the rules of hygiene, they know that they need to wash in front of the pool, but they do not refer to themselves, they answer, "well, I wash on the weekend." Some swim as if they are alone in the pool, others don't care. I advise the management to hang up the rules printed in large letters before the watch and introduce those who come under the painting.I think the instructor's tongue will not fall off to explain the rules of visiting to visitors, especially to the first-timers. It would not hurt to replace the plastic dividing strips consisting of multi-colored chips, which are already very worn out and falling into pieces. These pieces float in the water and cause a feeling of contamination. The staff is of course very polite and correct. It is clear that they are trying to keep everything clean and in good condition.
