An incident at a public swimming pool has gotten the attention of netizens, after a lifeguard remained calm and composed even as a woman grabbed his spectacles and tossed them aside.<\/p>\n
The incident occurred on Nov 16 at Delta Swimming Complex, located in Tiong Bahru, and was captured by TikToker @D4N1.<\/p>\n
A 24-second clip of the incident shows a woman in a swimsuit standing near two male lifeguards who are speaking to her. She then reaches forward and removes the spectacles from one of the men before throwing them on the ground.<\/p>\n
The other lifeguard steps in, appearing to calm her down, while the first lifeguard leaves to retrieve his glasses. She does not respond to those speaking to her.<\/p>\n
Another man approaches to check on the lifeguard and mediate the situation, but the woman pushes him back as the clip ends.<\/p>\n
When the incident was reposted on the Singapore Incidents Facebook group, many commenters slammed the woman’s behaviour, while others urged authorities to investigate.<\/p>\n
One netizen praised the lifeguard for his professional demeanour: “Kudos to u..good to see level headed netizens before usual stonethrow by most ppl.. we all do not know what had happened.”<\/p>\n
Another noted: “The girl doesn’t seem normal. Maybe that’s why the lifeguards tolerated her with compassion.”<\/p>\n
Stomp has reached out to D4N1 for comment.<\/p>\n
In response to Stomp’s queries, a spokesperson for SportSG , which oversees the swimming complex, said that it was aware of the incident.<\/p>\n
It occurred when the lifeguard approached the woman to inform her that she had used swimming equipment meant for other sports and fitness activities.<\/p>\n
“Our staff are trained to handle situations with care, and we are committed to providing a safe and welcoming environment for all users of our facilities,” the spokesperson added.<\/p>\n
SportSG did not respond to queries about how the incident was resolved.<\/p>\n
