both can be performed - people can choose. i remember i had a friend, who then was having fever on the day of baptism, so he opted for sprinkling. There is even a 3rd option - by dabbing a piece of foam or something with water on the head. not quite sure as i went for a dip in the pool.

do they really have a pool for those baptised by full immersion?

So far, I have never seen a pool like this in Sg (saw many times on internet though).

you don't expect the church to build a 2.2m swimming pool, do you?

Many churches have a pool, usually up to waist level. The Saint Andrew one is open air, if I'm not wrong.

yes, my home Church has a small pool for immersion, think about 3 - 4 metres sq. it is enclosed under carpeted floorings of the Church.

There was is small church near Kembangan MRT (can't remember the name, was baptised there using their baptism pool many years ago).
I think Woodland Free Evangelical also have one in their premises
I have actually witness a baptism service at the condo's swimming pool (where my sister live). Very Happy

My church has a small baptism pool that can stand around 5 people....on normal days, it is just a water feature.... but my church pretty open.... once the whole group of baptism candidates suggested baptism at the beach in the sea...the pastor agreed to it also...
