Agree:) hhaha recently weather is good for a nice swim. And hopefully a nice fun after swim!!) haha

Agree. Sunny day with cool water = shiokness. 
I am not too sure about nice fun after swim. After swim, need to rush to shower before you get โ€˜chased outโ€™ so that the next swim slot people start coming in.

Yeah managed to book 7:30 for both sun and next mon. @bluerunnerand whoever reading this now, still have few timeslot available for Monday.

Sometimes I get very confused about this swim slot. For example, today I got a slot at a certain pool. Just before I went in, I checked the booking of that pool, itโ€™s full. 
Thus, I would expect all 8 lanes in the big will have 2 swimmers per lane while at the teaching pool, there will be 1 swimmers per lane. 
However, I later noticed that the big pool only have 1 swimmers per lane and the teaching pool has empty lanes. 
So..... does that mean ppl booked a slot but did not turn up? Thatโ€™s quite a bit of ppl not turning up!

Thought so too, hope they know they can be penalised if didnt turn up 3 times within a month. Just hope unless due to bad weather or fall sick, else those gym goers booked the slots when they really want to swim. Else better dont ๅ‡‘็ƒญ้—น ๐Ÿ˜

It is a hot day today. 
Managed to go for a swim during lunch hour and just 10laps into my swim, the lifeguard came over and got everyone out of the water. 
Apparently, there was a lightning and it has activated the Lightning advisory. 
Everyoneโ€™s reaction was, โ€˜WHAT?!?โ€™ The sun was very bright and it was scorching hot. 
No choice, we got to get out of water. 
For the next 30min or so, we will not be able to get back into water. So, everyone left for shower and left the pool after that. 
What a misadventure.

Thx for sharing. I would stay in the Pool & ask the LifeGuard to show me the Meteorological Reading on his App that says: "Got Lightning"...

                         

lol, dear LifeGuard... u got to be kidding me...

Speedy recovery. 
No refund is ok. 3x no show means you will be barred from making booking for 2weeks! 
Somif you are late, also go and take shower there. Go get your attendance taken.

Yah lor.  Cannot understand wan. Booked and don't turn up en-masse? There was once I booked Kallang Basin... only 1 or 2 slots left. I thought gonna be crowded. Go there... the pool so empty and nice to swim. Shower area also so empty. Don't understand leh.

Just now at Kallang basin, there were only 4 ppl in the big pool. Saw a few gals and guys at the teaching pool as I was heading to shower after my swim. 
I kinda checked the swim slot availability before I entered the pool; 17 slots available. One of the rare days where you see so many slot available. Usually, there will be no slot left. 
Toilet was quite busy though. ๐Ÿค

aiyoh, with the announcement of the relaxed measures, probably they will increase the capacity after Aug 10 & it will be back to 5 swimmers per lane๐Ÿ˜ฑ, time to fight for your favourite lane haha. Its also going to a tough fight at the gyms with up to 30 pax only sigh

Indeed. With tighten control, we have difficulty in getting swim slot but we have a good swim with 2 swimmers (max) per lane. 
With relaxed measure, we can get a swim slot easier but we are faced with the challenge of securing a less crowded lane (more of avoiding self-entitled swimmer) to have a good swim. 
Honesly, I prefer the the arrangement with tighten control.

Yeah you can go to the pool regardless of your vaccination status. Masks are still required to be worn unless youโ€™re in the pool.

thanks for clarifying. else might end up paying for a slot that I cannot enter. hahaha

Iโ€™m glad I could assist. Feel free to leave me a message if you need any help. Btw, it would take a few days for your vaccination status to be updated on your HealthHub app. Give it at least 2 weeks in order for the status to be refreshed. Stay safe! โ˜บ๏ธ

I tried asking this question yesterday at another pool, but the staff was busy, & nobody was inside the entrance booth( so I didnโ€™t need to scan to exit... just walk out...hehe).
