Bukit Jalil pool got quite improvements
cleaner water, better locker facilities, and they remove most of the dividers making more room for us to swim biggrin.gif

no more divider ar? aiyo then it would be quite congested liao if everyone swim at different direction. usually swim freestyle can't notice in front 1 ma, easily bump into someone..

just now 8pm til 9 pm i went for a swim in kelana jaya pool. swimming at night is coozy much more relaxing than morning minus the aweful tan from the stupid sunlight.

today i accidently scrubed off the anti fog coating in my gogle. went back to the shop and they suggest me buying the antifog treatment liquid to be applied on the the inside lens. i tried it but still got fog. maybe my method of application is wrong, any sifu here familiar with this problem?

also i'm looking for a swimming buddy. swimming alone is boring for me. i just started learning swimming 4 days ago. now can swimming breaststroke for a short distance b4 exhaustion. say, half a pool. anyone near subang airport area wanna find a swimming buddy can pm me and we can discuss the detail.

abt me : 22 yo working male. age of swimming 5 days as of this post. 100% straight guy( no hanky panky from LBGT pls i''m not discriminating, you can b your self just dont kacau me pls) i'm just saying....
*
what kind of anti-fog liquid is that? spray 1? or like a marker pen 1? spray 1 usually won't work well, don't waste money on that. apply some cream like toothpaste then rinse water will do mang.. or use ur saliva also can. most economical..

there are 2 pools here. weekdays only open 1 side while weekends when alot ppl will open both. locker is provided but just a small locker but alot. gotta bring 3x20sens(old heavy one) to use them. water is clean most of the time very clear. the depth will start from 1.5 til the mid will b 2 m den shallow back to 1.5. its suitable for both newbie and pros.

interested? this week i dont have time to swim. you can join me on 16th onward for morning 9am swim. there are some uncle there willing to teach newbie. i learn from them for 5 days and can do breast stroke d ^^
its a liquid in a stick with sponge head. i bought d lur~ rm3x nvm lah. nvr try nvr know. next time i'll apply  few min b4 going into wter mayb will last longer kot
*
lol, bro seek advice here b4 purchase anything. RM30+ a lot mang.. toothpaste work fine for temporary anti-fog effect. apply it, rinse the water then there'll be no fog throughout the entire swimming session. fog came easily if the pool temperature is low.

i have just taken some basic lesson and can now swim breaststroke
trainer was not so pro perhaps a fast buck type
the problem is i can swim the shallow side...still cannot swim at deep ends.... perhaps afraid.

cannot float at deep ends as well

any idea how to learn this or will i be able to improve/swim at deep ends after being a good swimmer(breaststroke) by improving the stamina first?
*
to improve stamina u need to push urself swim continuously without stop even a second. learn touch turn so that u can continue to swim when reach the other end..

if u can swim breaststroke then shouldn't be a problem to swim at deep side. unless u stop very frequently for breath / rest then definitely u need float. else u don't need float also can swim at deep side..

Added on August 31, 2012, 4:23 pmAnyone having an idea in choosing goggles? I bought ogival brand 10 yrs agowhich UV protected and it is suitable when i use in indoor swimming pool. If i use it at outdoor pool,it will shine n distract me frm swimming. How? Should i buy another new goggles with protective screen with it?

It's not necessary to hv consistent left and right breathing when you're in competition.
The reason why the coaches encourage swimmers to breath left and right side is to make the swimmers hv a better sense of its body position and hand strokes in the water.
All swimmers will get used to breath one side better than the other, but good swimmers hv at least not so much different in either side breathing skill.

And it's very wrong to drop your elbow after your hands enter the water.
To swim more efficiently, swimmers like to maintain the high elbow positions.
A lot of ppl mistaken that high elbow position is maintained during the recovery.
But, it's not very true.
High elbow position should be kept in the water too.
If you go to Youtube watch those olympic swimmers' video, you're going to notice that their hands are almost perpendicular to their bodies.
This explains why the swimmers hv big latissimus muscle.
Freestyle and butterfly use a lot of energy from this muscle.
*
when swim front craw, the elbow maintain as high as possible close to the water while pull & push?

hi all,

may i know which brand of goggle with power is good? expensive?

thanks
*
the best goggle is speedo no doubt. RM69 buck each. i use ogival b4, but ogival seem not fully water tightness. got water seep in when i use that, maybe my face size not suit but i use speedo it was fine.. so far speedo serve me well for years.. ogival sold at abt 43 bucks.. tabata or view brand is abt RM50+, never use that b4.. TYR is the cheapest 1 i think, never use that b4 also..
