Due to limestone sediment at the bottom of the pool, Tai Dong High School in Taiwan requires students to wear socks during swimming classes to prevent scratches. The Sports Administration stated that it was not a funding issue, but initially, the school's project application was different. Experts will be arranged to inspect the pool and assist the school in developing improvement plans. The Ministry of Education has allocated a budget for pool renovations and equipment purchases to enhance swimming teaching environments at schools. Tai Dong High School's application was for updating filtration systems and sunshades, not addressing safety concerns related to pool sediment, leading to prioritization of more urgent safety issues at other schools.
