Since we met by chance today, let’s swim together.
Swimming tickets are certainly no longer an issue.
Hong Yanwu and his group of five did not even have to wait outside to bask in the sun. In the eyes of many envious eyes, they directly followed "Lao Diao" into the large iron gate of the swimming pool in advance, and each began to change clothes.
The men's and women's changing rooms of the "Taoranting Swimming Pool" are two transparent rooms in the north and south. There are entrances and exits in both directions. The black roof and light green room look like a Soviet-style building.
The space inside is very large. There are wooden benches in the middle of the room, which can accommodate at least several hundred people changing clothes at the same time.
There are many small windows around the house similar to ticket booths, where clothes are stored.
At that time, it was not like the swimming pools that came later, where everyone could have an independent locker. People had to pack their changes of clothes and then take them to these clothes storage windows to store them.
After receiving the clothes, the staff inside will store them on rows of shelves, and then give the corresponding number plates to the person who stored the clothes.
This method is of course very inconvenient.
First of all, you must bring your own small bag, and secondly, your shoes must be mixed with your clothes.
At that time, most of the clothes were mesh bags, and there were no plastic bags. Clothes were easily stained, and after a change of clothes was packed, they would become wrinkled when worn again.
In the end, you have to queue up. Everyone will come in at once when the show starts. In an instant, chairs and clothes storage windows will become scarce resources.
Needless to say, in this era of lack of public morality and order, lonely people and honest people naturally suffer the most.
They are a disadvantaged group and are often pushed to the end due to small groups that frequently join in. They have to be delayed in the locker room for as little as 20 minutes.
Cough, but there's nothing you can do about it, it's the same everywhere. Besides, this was the swimming pool with the best conditions that ordinary people had access to at that time.
As for Hong Yanwu, he has never had to worry about queuing, and he has rich experience in changing clothes. He has his own way of separating shoes and clothes.
That is to bring a few more newspapers, take off the shoes of the three people, wrap them in newspapers, and put them in a net bag. Then tie the net bag for shoes and the net bag for clothes together so that the clothes will not be stained by the shoes.
Dirty.
However, the two "princesses" didn't know these tricks. Even if they didn't have to queue today, they stayed in the dressing room for a long time without coming out.
If he hadn't known that there was no toilet inside, Hong Yanwu would have thought they had fallen into a latrine.
In the end, thanks to "Lao Diao", he found a female colleague to help take care of the clothes, so he helped these two people store their clothes.
Otherwise, even if they wait another half an hour, the two people inside may not be able to coordinate the relationship between shoes and clothes on their own.
After they finally came out, Zhou Manna and Ye Xuan's faces turned blue.
This is not entirely because they changed into swimming suits and stayed in the cool locker room for too long and got cold.
In fact, it was more because they were frightened by the unimaginably dirty water in the swimming pool as soon as they stepped out of the disinfection pool.
This year's "Taoranting Swimming Pool" has a total of six swimming pools. The first thing you see when entering are two mushroom pools on the left and right sides.
This is for children to play, and is usually the starting point for young children to learn to swim.
The water in each pool is only fifty centimeters, and there are two mushroom-shaped water fountains in each pool. The water flows down from the mushroom plane, similar to the effect of a small waterfall.
To the south of the Mushroom Pond are two standard-sized swimming pools side by side.
The depth of these two standard pools increases from north to south. From 1.05 to 1.4 meters, they are suitable for beginners.
Although the two pools are divided into men's pool and women's pool, there are still many half-grown boys mixed into the women's pool, and their age makes the staff too lazy to pay attention.
So usually, the south side of the two pools is where parents take their younger children to play, while the north side, where there is a stone pier jumping platform, becomes a place for older children with some proficiency in swimming to have fun.
It is often seen that some underage children enter the water in various unbelievable ways, and conflicts often occur due to this.
In short, these two mushroom pools and two beginner swimming pools are overcrowded places. You can bump into others if you move your arms and legs slightly, and you can't swim at all. It's like a dumpling pot. How can the water quality be any better?
In fact, the water in the pool is all green, extremely chaotic, and the water temperature is higher than body temperature. If people enter the water, they will have a warm feeling. Especially in the two standard pools, you can see a lot of marl-like particles on the surface of the water.
Floating objects.
This muddy water where all the people are swimming in is really incomparable to the clear and clear swimming pool of the privileged unit. Thinking about what the short and fat black man said just now about someone peeing here, it makes the two girls sick at the sight.
But fortunately, there is a clean sacred place in the swimming pool, which finally saved the two girls' expectations and perceptions.
That is to the south of the two shallow pools, separated by iron railings, there is a deep water area that only few people visit.
The color of the pool water here maintains the pure blue and low temperature of the Arctic Ocean glaciers all year round, giving people the feeling of an unpolluted sea. It reminds people of the most famous cold drink brand in Beijing.
There are also two swimming pools. One is a standard competition pool, 50 meters by 25 meters, with a water depth of two meters. The other is a diving pool of the same size, with a depth of five meters. There are three meters, five meters, and seven meters on the shore.
Meter and ten-meter diving platforms.
This made the two girls very excited when they found out. They immediately ran over happily and said, "It's so clean! It's great!"
It was only then that Hong Yanwu understood the doubts in his heart.
It turns out that Zhou Manna and Ye Xuan did not swim in the internal swimming pool where they usually go this time, but came here specifically for the formal diving platform in the deep water area of the "Taoranting Swimming Pool".
Speaking of which, this was all Xuan Ye's idea.
I bet she had just watched the movie "Water Lotus" with Zhou Manna, and she was very attracted to the heroine's beautiful posture when she entered the water.
When I heard someone say that there was a formal platform for competitions in the "Taoranting Swimming Pool", I was moved. I had to beg for nothing and drag Zhou Manna to accompany her.
She also added an extra layer of fun to this trip, to experience the lives of ordinary people in depth. So they didn't even take a ride in their parents' car. They bought tickets and took the bus.
But I didn't expect that the gap between romantic feelings and reality was so big.
Not to mention that the buses along this route were extremely crowded. They were so angry about the swimming tickets that they almost lost their wallets.
What I didn't expect was that even if I saw the deep water area, I still had to pass a level.
Because the big sign hanging at the gate of the deep water area not only states that the water temperature is "11 degrees today", it also clearly states that entrants must have a "deep water certificate."
For many southerners, this system may have never been heard of, but it is a long-term regulation implemented by the Beijing Sports Bureau for public swimming pools.
To this end, public swimming pools across Beijing will conduct rigorous tests from time to time.
There is no limit to the swimming style or time. You must swim 200 meters before you can be issued a deep water certificate. And you need to pay a certain fee if you pass the exam.
This double restriction has resulted in the deep water certificate with a white background and an English letter "R" printed on it, becoming a special identity certificate for a small number of people.
Generally speaking, men's ones are sewn on their swimming trunks, and women's ones are sewn on the left breast of their swimsuits. Even though it looks a bit like a sportswear logo, this thing is much better than Nike and Adidas.
Because it not only represents the owner's ability, but also represents the ability to enjoy the pure blue and low temperature of the deep water.
Of course, it is this system that makes the deepwater area a "special zone" visited by only a small number of people, thus maintaining better water quality.
Speaking of which, this is Zhou Manna and Ye Xuan’s luck again. Although they know how to swim, where do they have deep water certificates?
Thanks to Hong Yanwu's guidance, they were able to enter the deep water area and had no time to rejoice.
But then again, from the swimming pool we were accustomed to to the diving platform we stepped onto for the first time, the world has become taller and more difficult, and some things are far less beautiful than imagined.
With the two girls' actual abilities, standing on the three-meter platform was enough to frighten them. They barely dared to look down, let alone look far into the distance.
Because they didn’t know until they got on the platform that the feeling was definitely different when looking at the platform from the ground. When you look down from the top, you have to add your own height.
To be honest, if it hadn't already started and they were afraid of being laughed at by the people below, the two girls might have been able to climb down again along the same path.
In the end, although they restrained their panic and timidity, they held their noses and jumped straight down. However, their posture when entering the water was extremely irregular, which also caused them great suffering.
The process of being photographed is almost exactly the same, there is a "bang" sound, the rough waves first slap hard and then cover it!
The icy water is like needles, it really makes your scalp numb and your whole body tingles!
After climbing up the escalator to the shore, the two girls were both red and swollen, could not straighten their waists like shrimps, and were shivering.
In fact, the pain and cold are easy to describe, but the grievance is really unspeakable.
They all felt extremely humiliated. Unexpectedly, they mustered up the courage to jump off one after another, pinching their noses to protect the dignity of the People's Soldiers on the Great Steel Wall, but they ended up in even more embarrassing embarrassment.
Fortunately, Hong Yanwu had foreseen it and was waiting for them by the pool. He very considerately helped them up from the pool one by one with his strong arms. Otherwise, they might not have the strength to go ashore. Even if they did, they would probably end up on the wetland.
fall.
But what the two girls didn't expect was that Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan were extremely good at diving.
Not only did both of them choose to jump from the highest ten-meter platform, but they were also able to do pikes and spins, and their postures when entering the water were very stunning. Moreover, their freestyle movements were extremely simple and lively, with very little water splashing under their feet.
It can be said that both his body shape and skills are comparable to those of regular divers, which simply achieved an effect that shocked the entire audience.
Even the lifeguards wearing sunglasses in the deep water area couldn't help but give a thumbs up, saying that the professional diving team did not "dig" them away, which was simply blind and burying their talents.
So when they dived, not only did no one dare to jump with them anymore, but many people stood outside the iron fence of the deep water area and whistled and clapped. This was really like the treatment of sports stars.
All of this left Zhou Manna and Ye Xuan dumbfounded, and they could only feel shocked and envious.
Especially when Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan emerged from the dazzling blue foam. They walked ashore along the escalator in the dazzling sunshine and amidst the noise of the crowd. Black water drops rolled down from their European sculpture-like figures.
When the ground was swollen, his absent-minded smile simply gave people an illusion.
The sky seemed to shake as they came out of the water...
I have been warned about my business trip these days. Questioning and suspicious messages. Except for the bookstore where I can't see the author's message, it is probably pirated. These pirates don't consider me a student, so I won't reply at all. However, some genuine users also question,
