2. BEHAVIOR AROUND THE POOL

- When in and around the swimming pool, always listen to the swimming coach and lifeguards for safety reasons

- Avoid shouting when in the pool; It ensures that when an emergency arises, you are heard by the coaches and lifeguards.

3. DISCIPLINE

- Please arrive at least 10 minutes in advance to your batch's stipulated time for your first class. Being the first class, introductions, instructions and general guidelines will be shared with learners

- On all the other days, ensure you enter and leave the swimming pool at your batch’s stipulated time. Please be ready in your swim gear at least 5 minutes before class, as the changing rooms could get busy
