GENERAL
- The Swimming pool is exclusively for the use of authorised residents, i.e. those who live here and who have been issued the security access card or who have been granted bio-metric access. Bringing a limited number of guests occasionally is ok, but the resident must accompany them and need to follow all rules.
- Pool Timings: 7.00 AM to 9.30 PM (CLOSED ON MONDAY for maintenance).
Specific timings are allotted for coaching classes. Please see the next point. We request others to avoid swimming during this time. - In the summer months, typically March to May, swimming classes are held in the pool. The pool is reserved exclusively for this for some time each week. At other times, every attempt is made to ensure that the pool can be used freely by everyone. And if there are no classes in the allotted time slot, of course, it is free for anyone to use. A typical timetable for the summer months is shown below. The actual timetable will be published separately each year and displayed by the pool.
- If a batch of Kids undergoing coaching in the exclusively reserved slot is less than 7, then the slot can be converted from Exclusive access mode to sharing mode with other swimmers.
