I cant help but to laugh at this, taken from tuesday 12 feb's my paper under the my views in 60 seconds section:
MY DAUGHTER started taking swimming lessons recently and i found that an instructor in another group might be too physical during his teaching. He holds the girls's shoulder, arms and legs when he guides them.
Perphaps, there should be a code of conduct for all swimming instructors which includes keeping a distance while teaching, to prevent any misunderstanding.

kind of funny eh? keeping a distance while teaching swimming. "Oh shit! she is drowning, but wait, i have to keep a distance from the girl to prevent MISUNDERSTANDING!!!!!!!!" LOL!!!
if u dun hold the person's arm, leg and shoulder, how the person gonna learn swimming? can, swim on land lo! HAHA.
not like the instructor touch the girls' boobs or private part......

A lot of parents overprotective during swimming lessons de la...when I brought my students to go for their lessons a lot of parents watched over their kids like hawk. Some will call in their kids after a while cos said too long under the sun liaoz, will get heatstroke. Then got one parent wanted to feed her kid immediately after the lesson and when I told her cannot eat near the swimming pool, she just glared at me and said her child is hungry. I told her she can wait a little bit and eat when she reached school (which is just 5 minutes away).

Kaoz.... cannot even touch, then how the heck are the kids gonna learn how to float and do the swimming strokes properly?
Obviously the swmming coaches must show discretion here.... as long as they don't touch anyhow and unnecessarily, then there shouldn't be any problem.
It's the same case for doctors... they may have to observe and/or palpate the patient's body to help them diagnose or treat an ailment, but obviously they can't see or touch more than what they should.
