“However, the prerequisites in each pool must be provided with a monitor or supervisor to ensure safety, a number of users, and control times,” he said.
“There must be a guard, not only to control the safety of the swimming pool users but also to ensure that the number of people that allowed based on the size of the pool itself,” he added.
According to him, children are still not encouraged to play in the pool.
