From thw windows and balconies several stories above the Singapore swimming pool my family could not see the tapes.

Disappointed residents in Singapore remonstrated with staff. On Friday 38 March 2020 barriers were put around the pool.
One resident protested: "But the public pools are open. They are just restricting entry so that the number of swimmers does not exceed the space you must allow around each person. This pool is huge, Olympic size, plenty of room for everyone to be spaced out. I shall organize a petition.'
Swimming Lessons
I was relieved that swimming lessons were stopped. I had seen instructors holding onto your children, helping them to stay afloat.
Protecting Hands On Pool Ladders
As for protecting myself and others, I had been very careful in the pool. On my way to the pool, I sanitised my hands with the sanitising gel in the lift (Americans say elevator).
At the pool, as I climbed in, I washed down the grab part of the metal ladder with swimming pool water, before and after touching it on entry. I did the same on leaving.
Swimming For Exercise
I used to swim every day to keep fit and lose weight and because I enjoyed it.
Walking Around The Pool
My family suggested, go for a walk around the pool. I counted my steps around the pool. A huge number of steps.
Chair Exercises
I am also doing exercising in my chair. As I write this, I am using my feet to walk forwards and backwards under the desk.
Standing Exercises
Any time I stop to think, or take a break, I stand up and reach for the ceiling and touch my shoulders, waist, hips knees and toes. Up again down again. My mother in law told me she did that every day. She lived to 99 years old.
Dreaming of Swimming
I should live long enough to see the swimming pool re-opened again. I can dream fondly of swimming.
If you can still use your pool, enjoy it while you can. One day you can use it, the next day it is taped off.
Prepare For Swimming
Meanwhile, if you can't swim, happy exercising. Keep fit so you can swim when you have the chance again.
See update March 31 2020.
