Some families would like larger opening hours for children. Sportingly: many requests and Covid rules halve capacity

BELLUNO. Swimming lessons sold out and a few hours to book. Some mothers from Belluno contest the management of the baby pool at the Lambioi pool. One wanted to enroll the child in a course, but there is no place; another wanted to take the child to swim independently, but the pool is open for this option only on Wednesdays from 6.15pm to 7pm, Saturdays from 2.30pm to 5.30pm and Sundays from 8.30am to 12.15pm. Times that are badly combined with parents who work and who seek social spaces for children in a city that does not offer covered places in which to play.

«The waiting lists for swimming courses are nothing new, they have always been there because the demand is high. All the more so in this historical moment, with Covid rules that have halved the capacity of the tanks ”, explains Anna Fontana, coordinator of activities in Lambioi. The numerical limit was introduced when the pools were able to reopen. “They are strict rules and we respect them to the letter”, adds Stefano Caldart, director of Sportivo Belluno.

In the baby pool the courses are structured by age groups. From 3.45 to 6 pm there are those for children between 3 and 5 years old, from 6 pm those for children between 4 and 36 months. «The most requested time slots by families are those of 4.30 pm and 5.15 pm», continues Fontana. “After 7pm there are no requests.” Thus the hypothesis of extending the time of the courses to dispose of the waiting lists was rejected. And also to anticipate them, because children go to kindergarten in most cases, and at least until 4 pm they are busy. “There have always been waiting lists because there are so many children who want to get closer to swimming”, continues Fontana. “And there are the limits introduced by the Covid legislation: if before we could have 18 people in the baby tub at the same time, including carers, now they are half”.

As for the hours of “free swimming”, that is to say the opening of the extra-course pool, “the times have been the same for some time, certainly from before the outbreak of the pandemic”, concludes Fontana. “Even a Wednesday time slot was never requested.”
