Howdy, new here btw!

So guys, have you been to Kelana Jaya Municipal Pool? How will you rate it, compared to 3K Sports Complex pool for those who'd been to both locations?

So far I was told that the former is an Open pool, while the latter is an indoor one.

Haven't had time to check out any of them due to time constraint and other activities (and I just barely learned swimming at a school for a year). Now I am more comfortable to go by my own (of course, would be nicer there are kakis). So I'd like to set a day each week and pick one of these two. I live in Klang btw. The first one is easier to access for me but if the latter turns out better, I may as well go there (I am never fond of Open pool from the experience at Sunway Lagoon... Peeps just drop in water with their T-shirts on, blah blah you know).

Please kindly provide an opinion.

Thank you. Have a good day.

I also noticed 3K was sealed off when I drove by recently... the whole place looked run down now really... trying to find any sign as I slowly drove through the traffic but didn't see any notice about its fate...

Yeah, before I knew swimming, I thought I'd never love it...

Now I have learned how to swim... I just like it better than hiking and running ... not so much about to keep fit, but rather it's an exercise that you won't get tired and feel more refreshed after. Didn't need a gadget to track, just swim until the life guard kick me out of the pool or the crowd push me out of the lanes
Well, the main problem, for people not living in condo, swimming pool is just hard to come by, not every community gets a pool and, many times have to get miles away out for a pool and hope that it is not crowded ...

You just have too much energy to spend after work or you aiming for competitive swimming?
Yup, low impact overall, and helps easing back problem. Exception is butterfly stroke, which can be stressful on back especially for those with back issues like myself ...

Oh wow, haha, I was reading so fast that I thought you wrote reverse the aging effect ! Hehe, well don't forget the chemicals in the pool though
So you didn't just start learning swimming... Speak of trying to go back into swimming, I just learned the closest pool from my place is closed for reason I can't seem to find bummer


You could just free-style like newbie as you get closer to them, get rough with the pool water... the splash, the noise, hope they find that entertaining

So ya used to b a competitive swimmer!!? I see!
Food industry... you meant you test eating food?? Oh well, now that explain why...
how nice having pool in condo, no hassle of parking, traveling, fees and chlorine OD... Guess I shall just swim in my water tank...

Should just go with butterfly stroke, torpedo style if they thought you were just kicking water and playing with them...
Bet no gal would just stand there watching an "impending collision" unless she was intending to let you jump on her!

Well that's... pretty looong time lol
Never too late, you pretty much got the right idea, diet does play a huge part in weight control.
For me, if exercise doesn't cut it, control the diet, and vice versa, has to be balance to see the outcome.
And taking food before bed time and gobble up lots of food in one meal are also bad eating habits that may lead to undesired weight gain... or so i believe
And utmost, the lesson learned from you, do not stop swimming for too long, LOL
Damn, I gotta find a way to get back into swimming

I just notice when I passed by 3K Sport Complex subang that some renovation has been worked on it after being "desolated" for quite some times...
It seems it will reopen any time soon...? hopefully. Or anyone knows about its progress & details?

you neglected to make note session 4~6 on Wed are only opened for ladies...

I received news that 3K will be shut down or was already shut down for further maintenance indefinitely... heard was the pump issue, barely reopened half a month...

Kampung pandan s too far in KL , definitely not going there after work... I actually will pass by Kelana jaya and 3K on the way home, so I have Kelana Jaya as alternative, just that it's outdoor, but matter not for swimming in the evening (Shah Alam panasonic may be another, just need to do some detours)


You may want to ask student from there... at least heard from a friend studied in UKM, its pool does open to public at certain days & time for some entrance fees, so guess it depends on the institution or just the polis you ran into was ignorant? who knows...

I can tell you it's much harder to look for public pool that offer full pool where you must constantly stay afloat... oh wait, what's your height? standard depth would be around my rib height, around 3~4 ft?

Wow, i haven't been visiting 3K since a year ago when they reopened it then closed again... I thought they upgraded a lot of stuffs but now this... I guess they still have a lot to do.. Sorry to hear that... so ahhh, since you did not lock the locker, I bet the staffs probably just shunned it as it's your own responsibility for the theft?

Anyway, I now swim at panasonic pool, it's so much nicer compared to 3K, should check this out instead!

It's at Shah Alam, formerly Matsushida Stadium

I normally go on Sunday in the evening... not sure how it turns out for other days and time though.

does anyone know when Bon Odori event is held, will they close the swimming pool at panasonic national stadium?

nope, no longer driving past the area on weekdays after work

so only do it on weekends when friends can join

I am pretty sure any crowded pool will give the same feeling ...

Anyway, still fond of Panasomic pool that I could not find reason going back to 3K, well, and it's further from my home...

Haha, but you'd better tip him which spot to swim and which killer spot to avoid...

there are some infamous spots with tragic history of drowning, ya know, i forgot name of a beach there, it was on news twice last year due to two incidents only few month apart...

Hahaha, as long as there are places to swim and of course well-maintained!

PADE? Is it the one with 10m depth indoor pool?

Oh, I see, thanks for info, though i just knew it as Shah Alam aquatic center

only been there once, haven't tried the indoor facility, but one thing for sure, if one is a serious swimmer, even for beginners, never go for outdoor, mostly ended up just soaking in water
