This year, the Swimming Gala was postponed from March to 21st April due to the maintenance work on the filters. It was a cloudy day but the event proceeded smoothly. There were around 70 participants in this event and we sincerely thank them for their support.
The event started around 3.15pm with the under-10 category at the children’s pool. 3 games were conducted – ‘Keep the Sponge Dry’, ‘Swimming Pool Scrabble’ and ‘Number Crunch’. The kids had a lot of fun and one of them even made a hilarious mistake due to the goggles he wore. As for the open-10 category, 4 games were played, mainly, ‘The Invisible Bottle’, ‘Water Dodge Ball’, ‘Carry the Eggs Across’ and ‘Tug of War’.
Same as previous year, kids and adults required to jump into the pool to collect the treasures. However, besides the cans and oranges, this year we threw shillings into the adult pool to let the Treasure Hunt more exciting. Mystery gifts were arranged for the members throughout the Treasure Hunt. Each item was label with numbers and by drawing lots of the items and numbers, we manage to have 8 lucky members who entitled for the mystery gift.
The event ended around 5.45pm. The members went back with bags of collections and laughter. The Organising Chairman, Ms. Sim Bee Lan hopes that there will be more members participating in this event next year.
2019年游泳嘉年华原定于2019年3月24日因过滤器维修工程而展延至4月21日举行。虽然当天天气阴阴，但是游泳嘉年华也进行得非常顺利。今年，共有70位会员参与，我们非常感谢他们对此活动的支持。
活动于下午3时15分开始，先进行儿童组游戏。游戏分别是‘保护海绵’，‘泳池拼字’及‘数字乒乓’。孩子们都玩得不亦乐乎。成人游戏则共有4项，‘隐形水瓶’，‘水中躲避球’，‘鸡蛋过河’及‘水中拔河’。
寻宝环节与往年相同，小孩及成人都需跳入水中并捞出水中的食品。为了让寻宝环节添加更多乐趣，我们在成人寻宝环节投入了硬币让会员们捞出而神秘礼品环节则与往年不同。此环节通常会在物品后贴上特别标签以换取神秘礼品，但今年则以抽签方式进行，类似幸运奖，每样物品的盖子都写上了号码，我们通过以抽幸运号码制度抽取8位幸运儿并领取神秘礼物。
活动于下午5时45分结束。参与的会员们双手领着大包小包，脸上充满笑容满载而归！筹委会主席沈美兰女士希望明年会有更多的会员参与此活动。
