Macomer, the future of the pool at risk: "Every bill is an anguish"

Ten people risk their jobs and the Macomer area risks losing one of the most significant sports facilities, such as the municipal swimming pool.

Managed by the Sporter company, the swimming pool was reopened the day before yesterday, after three months of forced parking. The activity resumed with about 300 fewer members and with events reduced to a flicker . "After the pandemic we had resumed with enthusiasm - says the director of the plant, Danilo Masala - but immediately the energy crisis arrived, which is killing our legs . Here everything works with diesel and electricity, supplied by Enel. There is no photovoltaic system and for this reason we are strongly affected by the expensive bill. Considering that most of the users come from outside, we have had a significant drop in subscribers, which is also having repercussions in the local economy, with many shops that cannot more to count on the presence of those who come to take a dip in the pool, learn to swim and also for competitive activities. Above all there are children. The numbers are eloquent. Where do we want to go? next electricity bill ". In the municipal swimming pool there are swimming lessons for adults and children, water aerobics, competitive swimming, including national ones, swimming activities for users with disabilities.
