New ordering system at the Deli
using “Coaster Pagers”
Starting 14 November, we will not be announcing your orders
over the air, and will use the Coaster Pagers instead.
After placing your orders at the Deli counter, you will be handed
a Pager the size of your palm to bring back to your table.
Once your orders are ready, the Pager will buzz and light up to
prompt you to bring your Pager to the counter in exchange for
your orders.
We hope this will make the system of ordering more pleasant
and convenient to Members. We welcome your feedback.

For safety reasons, children not involved in training
are to refrain from diving indiscriminately into the pool;
parents/guardians should ensure that their children/
wards do not cause a disturbance or pose a danger
to other swimmers.

With the closure of the Children’s Pool for the upgrading project,
children will, for the time being, be allowed to use the Competition
Pool with floatation devices such as ring floats and arm floats.
However, the parents / guardians should be on hand at all times
to ensure the safety of their children / wards.
PRESS RELEASE
The following text message which was not published, was sent to the Press by President of Singapore Swimming Club on 19 February 2011 with regards to the 19 February ST article on the GM’s departure from the Club:
“With reference to the Straits Times article on 19 February 2011, the VP of Singapore Swimming Club would like to clarify that what he had meant was that he heard a rumour circulated around the Club that a Key Admin committee member received an anonymous phone text message that the General Manager has a forged degree.
As this was merely a rumour, the Club did not act on it. The Club has a whistle blowing policy in place and no complaint was received through this channel. Furthermore, the Club also did not receive any written complaint from anyone.
The General Manager was dismissed from the Club with effect from 19 February 2011 and the Club will assist the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) in its investigations.”
