My child swim in the condo pool most of the time. Are the water in the public pool same as condo pool?
Public Pools: Water abit salty, pool has a depth of 1.8m, length is 50m.
Condo Pools: Water might not be so salty, limited depth, pool length vary between 15m to 50m or 100 depending on the condo pool design.
My advise is that you let your kids try out the pool before the test to ensure that they know what to expect for the test., especially in the deep water of 1.8m, some kids experience panic when they do for the first time.
So, the answer is public pool and the condo pool are not the same. Meaning also to say, your child can swim in the condo pool does not mean he can swim in the public pool if he is doing it for the FIRST TIME.
