I also had a near-death experience in that SWIMMING POOL many years ago when I had barely finished my 600L degree examinations. The SWIMMING POOL is abt. 50Meters Long. Has got a Deep Head and Shallow Tail. Deep Head is about 9 Ft deep. Shallow Tail is about 3Ft deep. It's an Olympic sized swimming pool and has got no Lifeguard expect for students with professional experience. I would have been the 3rd corpse to be evacuated from that site, after 2 students who had already died at seperate intervals. RIP, It's really Unfortunate. |
