Letter To The Editor - Swimming Pool

Dear Management / Editor

I wish to highlight to you an event which took place one Sunday evening on Nov.10th 2006. I believe some residents were having a party by the pool-side. There were young children and teenagers swimming and jumping into the pool in their clothes. I am aware that Management has put up a signboard with rules and regulations for using the pool. But on several occasions though, I have seen people not adhering to them.

There are several issues I wish to bring to the attention of all parents who allow their children to use the pool:

1. Educate the children on safety procedures when using the pool, e.g. to refrain from jumping into the pool when there are others swimming.

2. Do not throw slippers or toys into the pool.

3. Do not drag or pull the deck chairs to the divider between the baby pool and the adult pool.

4. To clear all swimmers from the swimming pool area when there is a thunder storm approaching, or when it is raining, as it is dangerous to swim under such conditions, more so when there is lightning, especially now, when it is the monsoon season.

No doubt Management has appointed a company to clean the pool but it is also our duty as residents to keep the Tiara Damansara common areas clean and tidy. May I request all Tiarans to be civic conscious.
