Swimming

I took this photograph at about near sunset on Friday. It looks very peaceful.

Some boys were using the apartment's complex swimming pool. What set me thinking then was how clean was that swimming pool? Has any test been done to assure that water in the pool is 'clean', free from any ... God forbid ......... virus that may affect one's health? No doubt the maintenance people have put chlorine periodically in the water, and they also pump, filter and clean the water when the water seems cloudy, but is that all that can give assurance that the pool is 'clean'? All sorts of people (tenants and outsiders) have been swimming in the pool.

There is a notice board in the gazeboo nearby stating the 'right' rules for using the pool. It was strictly enforced when the apartment complex was first opened and the pool first used, only for a couple of years or so when the 'rules' were enforced. But like all rules in Malaysia, some are just there for decoration. Anyway who is going to enforce the rules?

Todate the pool seems safe enough.
