24th Anniversary...

It was our 3rd time visiting Jurong East Swimming Complex but it was the 1st time we are celebrating our anniversary there! The weather was kind to us, really suitable to have a dip in the water =) The trainees turnout were good, consider in the past going into the pool we were always low in attendance...

Every trainees really had fun.... sitting on the float going round the "canal", those more daring ones had a go on the slide and for some, just basically sitting in the wave pool, enjoying the wave, the jet spray and the sun it's good enough.

All of you who were present played a significant role in ensuring our trainees had fun. You ensured their safety were not compromised by following them closely and made sure they were not left alone. In fact, I think all of them could not swim... imagine how dangerous it would be to leave them alone, out of sight for just a split seconds in the pool! For some who don't know, we once lost Ban Lee (in a split seconds) for over an hour and he ended up in Tampines.

You ensured they did not feel out of place in the public and integrated them slowly with the rest. You made the public feel comfortable with our trainees and educated them these special people are just like anyone of us.

Last but not least, you gave the caregivers the assurance that they could leave their children in your care and their children would be well look after. You shown them that you looked into every details when you were with their children.

Keep it going my friends! Continue to show patience, love and be vigilant when you are with our trainees, especially in the public!
