Hello guys! glad to see this thread is up actively up till today.

Let me intro my self. I'm a newbie with 0 swimming ability. First came contact with swimming yesterday when I went for outing at a waterfall. Its embarrasing to tell that I couldn't swim so i missed alot of fun. Still i get a chance to try swim in the shallow area. though exhausting, but its quite benificial coz i fell my whole body aching after swmming which is a good thing proving that the muscle are working. I've never felt so many muscle worked out this hard with other sports i indulge in e.g. badminton and wall climbing. So i decided to take up swmming starting tomorrow.

I'll be going to the Kelana Jaya Municipal Swimming pool tomorrow morning at 9am to try out the pool there. Anyone been there before? Isit okey if i go alone with no basic in swimming? and lastly anyone knows where to sign up for proper swimming classes near Subang Skypark Airport area? i live near by here. Any additional advise is greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance!!

hi! thanks for the advice! actually i've been reading about tips on swimming. now i gotta apply them in real. infact later 9am i'll go to the kelanajaya pool to test the water and then so some exercise i've learnt from a few website. exercise such as sink, float, human nose clip and underwater exhallation first. about the swimming buddy i actually contacted elaineliew88 from a few post earlier and hopefuly we can learn swimming together under a coach or sumthing. still insearch for classes for both of us.

P.S. Any new learner whos around subang area can join us. pls contact me ur availbility so that i can scout out a coach that can suit all of us.

noted! i'll go shop some equip later after the pool visit ^^ any suggestion what should a beginner should have? all i have now is a swimming trunk haha XD

back from kelana jaya! i am very lucky today made frens with a few veteran whom are kind enough to teach me basic f.o.c very nice hehe

carpark rm 1 per entry, pool entry fees rm3/4 for weekdays/weekends rm 0.60 for locker and all set to go! pool depth is suitable for me max at 2m.

went there arnd 930 all is good until going back time in the shower room i made a mistake: i smiled towards a male stranger out of politness and that burger macam found a prize like that. i go anywhere he folo. lagipon at shower area. den my instinct kicked in i fast fast put on cloth and exit the place dashed to my car and drove away. b4 that i saw the burger even followed me to the hall. WTF! i think i almost get butt rape. but still he managed to eat my taufu go raba my thigh. i think tonight i might have nightmares T.T

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.

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.
