好久没有在自己博客涂鸦,上周开始女儿游泳从prep升到squad 1 level,游泳时间从周二6:00pm 和星期六早上8:00am改成了周一,三,五三个晚上都是4:30pm开始加上星期六的7:30am开始。为了送女儿游泳,我请求把上班时间改成了7:17 – 3:45pm,下班后直奔校车停靠点接上女儿赶往游泳馆。半小时dry training 加上1个小时的游泳训练,外加半小时的洗澡更衣,饥肠辘辘地回到家已是7点光景。周二呢有儿子4:30pm溜冰,周三儿子5:30-6:30溜冰,女儿6:40-7:50溜冰,周四下午要到学校接女儿弹Yukelee回来,周四晚上6:30-7:30两个学弹钢琴。周六也没法休闲:女儿9:00游泳结束后是打篮球,儿子早上9:00打篮球。下午两个都溜冰。星期天总该可以休息了吧?答案是否定的,因为星期天中午1:30儿子学游泳。游泳学习后是public swimming, 儿子一会拉我到滑梯边,一会说冷要进热水池,一会儿说太热要回冷水池,所以陪泳可能是所有活动里最辛苦的。太太学上古筝后就没法分担这苦差了,只有盼望着过几个月等他到了7岁,游泳馆会在手上给他套个圈圈,经过游泳测试后再套上个圈圈,爸爸就无需寸步不离了。上周是第一周,每天早上6点多起床,一天下来等折腾完小孩睡觉,自己也快撑不住了。上周三送完溜冰回家,8点多,头很疼。我一进家门就奔床铺而去,每天晚上9点接岳母下班的任务就口头交接给太太了。刚躺下,太太来了,说要为我按摩头部,儿子也骑到我身上,说要给我massage。我轻轻叫唤女儿的名字,请她弹钢琴,没料想到女儿今天却没有莫及就去弹了。侧耳听着琴声,闭眼感受两份按摩,心也慢慢静下来,虽然白天一直在赶时间,晚上了要体会收获体会家的温馨。。。当然太太也同我“摊牌”了,说天太冷了,她不想晚上再开车出门。躺10来分钟后,头痛也的确好多了,开车几乎内定是男生的活,时间也到了,一跃而起,说走咱就走。
今天4:30送完女儿去游泳,接着参加4:30-6:00 的Timekeeper and safety Marshal level 1 clinic。游泳每年有数次的比赛,这些比赛的工作人员大多是家长等志愿者。培训中有不少词不懂。比如标题中的Marshal(中文可以叫元帅),还有很简单的一个词:heats(The preliminary rounds to the finals where competitors line up either at random, by seeding or by grading.)其他解释:A heat in swimming is like a group of swimmers swimming the same event. Since only a certain number of swimmers can swim at a time (depending on the number of lanes, usually 8) they have to have swim at different times and usually they place heats on how fast they swim. So, if you have the fastest time going into the race then you’d be in the last heat and if you have the slowest time going into the race then you’d be in the first heat. Also they place you in lanes from slowest to fastest (if you have the fastest time you go in the 4th lane and slowest goes in the outer lanes). Hope this helps. 🙂 Source: Many years of competitive swimming 。
