There are public pools all over Singapore. No problem. And no, it won't hurt a 3 month old baby.

there is a place they teach babies in Dampsey. its a really good and nice place with not many babies in class.
there is another school in sintec city (9 fl maybe...?) with a nice pool and small classes as well.

How do you know that the babies in sintec (?) city don't pee in the pool? do they put plugs or Clips on 'em? For that matter, if they let the parents in the pool as well with the babies they also probably pee in the pool.
Of course, if in your mind you believe it to be so, then you only waste your money but doesn't diminish the facts at all.

Do you believe everything you are told? If so I've got a bridge I'd like to interest you in. What do they do, change all the pool water every hour or so? Or do they use the same chemical filtration & chlorine treatment that most use? If they are not using any filtration or chemicals then the bacteria won't be killed so therefore you put the babies at even more risk.

Oh, do you mean where you take your baby, locals are not allowed? It's expatriate allowed only? Got news for you, some locals here spend more on their kids than you probably make a year. Of course, not me as I'm not Singaporean.

It is rather crass of you to insult your hosts that way though.

Anyway, I hope your child learn to swim but doesn't grow up with a phobia about water.
