begleitung Posted June 19, 2020 Author Posted June 19, 2020 Went for the 2230 slot. There were about 2-3 people per lane. At 2320 the lifeguards will blow the whistle, to get people out of the pool and get ready for the next slot. When i left there were about 8 people lining up to get in about 2330. Quote

Just got this sms 3 hrs ago: From SPORT_QSM@sport.gov.sg Dear Guest, to protect the health and wellbeing of our seniors, 6.30am to 8.45am swimming slots are reserved for our seniors (60yrs and above). General public who wish to do lap swimming can book the evening time slot from 6.30pm onward. Quote

I had booked a morning swim slot yesterday!! Arghhhh The setup needs some update. Since ActiveSG is linked to our IC, they should blocked out the morning slot if user is not ‘senior citizen’ age.

begleitung Posted June 22, 2020 Author Posted June 22, 2020 That is a good idea. how is the situation in other pools? Thank wonder if there is another way to allow a longer swimming time without compromising safety? Lap swimming is not really inposed. Longer opening hours may not help? Budhget is limited etc? Quote
Torrent Posted June 23, 2020 Posted June 23, 2020 There is a heavy downpour going on atm, I wonder how the changes everything in a queue. Quote
