An Aquatics Achievement  

On December 29, 2020, our Masters swimmers faced a huge challenge set by Aquatics Coach Greg Fasala – To swim 100 X 50m (5KMs!). 
  
With no real-time restraints, it was as much a mental challenge as a physical one. Each swimmer recorded each lap with pegs. Congratulations to everyone who participated, on their outstanding achievement.  Special shout- out to Mona & Donny (Donald), who both found it challenging even to complete a full lap in our 25-meter pool when they first started in our program seven months ago.

Listed below are what Coach Greg like to call our “mature swimmers” that achieved this most difficult challenge.  
 
Congratulations and Well Done to:
Michael Flynn
Sharan Pinto
Alison Fry
Charles Spencer
Jessica Quance
Donald Stroh
Mona Manghani
Murry Alldritt

If you'd like to join any of the Aquatics programs, please call the Aquatics Counter at 6739-4470 or email aquatics@amclub.org.sg.

Keeping Our Clubhouse Safe - A Joint Responsibility 

Government agencies have been stepping up enforcement on Safe Management Measures. Under the COVID-19 (Temporary Measures) Act passed in Parliament on April 7, 2020, first-time offenders will face a fine of up to S$10,000, imprisonment of up to six months, or both. Subsequent offenders may face a fine of up to S$20,000, imprisonment of up to 12 months, or both.

Businesses that do not implement or comply with the government’s safe management advisories may also be ineligible for government grants, loans, tax rebates and other assistance. Click here for more information.

Additionally, Members who do not behave in a socially responsible way or do not cooperate with staff enforcing safe management measures, could potentially face disciplinary action in accordance with the framework approved by the General Committee.

The Club will also face the potential risk of Clubhouse closure, if Members are found to be non-compliant with the Safe Management Measures. 
Lost & Found 

If you have found an item or if you have misplaced an item during your visit to The Club. Please proceed to the Concierge to handover the found item or report your lost item.

We recognize that your personal belongings are important to you. In our busy club community, many lost and found items are handed over to our Concierge team daily. These are recorded for safekeeping until they are returned to their rightful owner. 

Stop Towel Theft 

Did you know that The Club lost 814 bath towels and 1,244 hand towels in 2019? That means The Club lost a whopping $7,896 last year! It's time to do our part and return the towels after using them.
