Abstract

In this paper, through the literature data method, questionnaire survey method, mathematical statistics method, and field interview method, the current statistical analysis of the swimming pools in Shaoyang City was conducted. According to the statistical results, the swimming pools in the urban area of Shaoyang are mainly small. The hardware facilities in the stadiums are mainly semi-standard pools (small pools). The safety management of the swimming pools is good, and the life-saving equipment facilities of each swimming pool are also complete. The safety management of on-site personnel has been done well to ensure the safety of personnel. The management personnel in the swimming pool are mainly middle-aged people, and the age structure of lifeguards is relatively balanced. They are mainly young people with good physical strength and experienced middle-aged people. Due to the nature of work, female lifeguards are relatively rare. There has been a phenomenon in which lifeguards went to work without a license. The coaches are mostly young men. After the investigation, there are many part-time coaches. The business nature of the swimming club is private or cooperative. The main content of the service is open to the outside world and swimming teaching. The content is different, and the price is different. In the survey of consumers, it was found that a large proportion of consumers are children who are attending primary and secondary schools. Most of them learn to swim because of the wishes of their parents. Many young consumers want to exercise or have personal interests in participating in swimming. Regardless of whether they participate in swimming training or are mass consumers, the majority of consumers who spend 1,000-2,000 yuan on swimming have a moderate level of swimming consumption in Shaoyang City. The operating conditions of these five companies are not very good. Only one swimming club said it was profitable, and all said that the operating status was flat or loss-making.
