Swimming Pool

The good news is I began my gym exercises since Sunday May 3. The club house is just 100m away from our lobby entrance, small but adeqaute. Last night, Grace used my gym pass to take the kids swimming. I went along to watch Kristine and Kimberley play in the wadding pool so Grace could do her laps.

A lifeguard came up to me and told me I was not allowed in in t-shirts and shorts. He said I could enter the pool area to wacth the kids, but I must be in swimming outfit like everyone else. After much debate, I was allowed in, just this time. As I sat down on a lounge chair next to the wadding pool and turn my laptop on, he came up to me again and complained I must not use my laptop while in the pool area.....

I then walked around to check the rules and regulations, too many to reprint here. Basically, no noise, no jumping into the pool, no 'frolic', no cardiac patient, no prior alcoholic drink, no skin desease, no high blood pressure, no sandals, no t-shirts, no shorts, no spitting (didnt stop a guy there doing just that). Even parents of kids attending swim classes are not allowed in. The kids themselves are allowed in 10 minutes before class begins, and must leave shower room 30 mins after class ends.

Everyone entering the pool MUST wear a swim cap, but noone is required to shower before entering the pool.

A signage at the entrance goes like this:

"Entrance Swims Pool Penetrate Sandals Please Wear Swim Cap The Swimmer Enters a Natarorium Thank a Cooperation Please"

No punctuation marks. Go figure that out!
