ID to allow private teaching at Dom Bosco Swimming Pool

Certain time slots at the Dom Bosco Swimming Pool will be offered to the public for private swimming classes with approved applications, the Sports Bureau (ID) announced yesterday in a statement.

Applications will be accepted for the two time slots from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. – each lasting for an hour – on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays. The bureau will incorporate the time slots into terms, with each term running for two months.

March and April will be the first term, May and June will be the second, and so on.

All local residents over age 18 who are certified to teach swimming will be eligible to apply as instructors.

They must submit identity documents and certification details with their application, which will be accepted from the first day of each even month.

During the first 10 days of each application period, applicants may apply for a maximum of four slots, and each applicant may only book a maximum of six slots each term.

Fees of MOP60 per hour will be charged for an applicant and a student, while MOP75 will be charged per hour for an applicant and two students.

To aid entry, successful applicants will need to present their ID card or digital identity on their One Account app at the door. Wristbands will be issued and must be worn at all times during use. AL
