In Singapore, a well-maintained pool can be an ideal place for family and friends to spend time together. Swimming is a popular sport that can help with physical and mental health. It also provides a great way to exercise. But, it is important to understand the safety measures involved in swimming. This article will provide some tips on how to keep your pool safe.
The first step is to check the water level regularly. While some loss due to evaporation is normal, a sudden drop in the water level could be an indication of a leak. The pool’s plumbing may be damaged, or the water may be leaking through cracks in the shell or deck. If this is the case, a dye test can be conducted to find the source of the leak. This process involves placing a pool-safe dye near the suspected area of the leak. The dye will be pulled toward the escaping water, making it easier to identify the location of the leak.
Founded in 1968, Singapore Pools is the country’s only legal lottery and sports betting operator. Its mission is to provide people who bet with a trusted environment and ensure that the surplus generated by their gambling activities are channelled back into supporting community initiatives, instead of ending up in the hands of illegal gambling syndicates. Its roster of products includes the Toto six-out-of-49 state lottery game, which was launched in 1968; the Singapore Sweep, a seven-digit sweepstake game; and 4D, a four-digit lottery game that was introduced in 1986. In 1999, the company added sports betting to its offerings.
Recently, the company has made significant advances in its IT infrastructure. It has migrated its on-premises applications monitoring system to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), which allows the company to monitor and analyze multiple systems in real time. In addition, OCI supports automated alerts for performance and availability issues, and cuts troubleshooting time by half.
Aside from improving IT operations, Singapore Pools also aims to strengthen its cyber security efforts. During the COVID-19 crisis, it became increasingly important to unlock additional capacity on demand. OCI allows Singapore Pools to quickly scale up its computing capabilities, which is crucial during times of peak demand. The company has also conducted staff awareness training to improve the security of their online work.
In addition, the UK Tote Group has signed an agreement to commingle its pools with Singapore Pools on British racing meetings. This will allow customers to bet into the UK Tote’s pools, creating larger pools and providing better financial returns for the sport. This is in line with the Singapore government’s objective of developing a world-class sport and entertainment industry. The agreement will also benefit horse owners and racetracks in the United Kingdom. Moreover, it will promote greater participation among the British population in the sport of horse racing. The sport is growing in popularity and will continue to grow. Hence, the need to increase liquidity for the sport is urgent.
