My cousin gave me her extra access card in exchange for occasional treats at buffets and movies of her choice. rclxms.gif The pool is on the 15th floor. Could meet up on the 15th floor or Papa John's on the ground floor. I will flash you in. When you leave you will not need the access card. Mornings before 9:30am are best for me, but I don't mind swimming in the evenings either as long as I have a swimming buddy to keep me motivated to do a few extra laps. I think the pool timings are 6am-1Opm daily. I contacted Times Square 0321178000 and was told that the pool is 740 sq feet and 4 meters deep. Still cannot figure out the length in meters but it certainly does look lenghty. So anyone keen for swim soon ? nod.gif

Yes I joined this forum to meet up with people who have an interest in swimming to improve my style and keep me motivated . If this is not the right place to be writing my comments I do apologise as I am new to this site. Perhaps you could direct me to a more correct site to make a post. blink.gif

yeap, need company to be motivated to swim more.. and u're in correct place, here gather avid swimmer laugh.gif i swim abt 4 to 5 times a week..

Perhaps you could suggest a time that is convenient to you. I would love to swim tomorrow if it is not too soon. The facilities are very basic just a cold shower. Towels are not provided and no hair drier.

Added on June 8, 2012, 8:44 amtimes square pool is great i would say, though the shape it not entirely square like the other olympic swimming pool does, however it still a square size pool partially. so u still can swim from end to end for a length seems to be more than 50m laugh.gif it's quite lengthy from end to end compare to the other pool we used to swim.

thanks fins for bring us there.. notworthy.gif

I would like to say thank you to you and Senyii for joining. It was fun to have company. Hope more people would join in time to come.

okay for diving theres a DIVE com.......as for swimming is there any such thing as swimming watch or anything like the NIKE+ thingy that helps u keep track ur pace etc , i just wonder  hmm.gif

These sites might be a good start:

Most of these aren't sold locally would have to order online. I personally like the 25c addition method.

rclxms.gif A warm welcome to our new member. We were all excited when we heard that you'd be joining. We hope you will continue to join us in our swim sessions. Timetraveller's laps are fast, precise and intense he swims like a speedboat, one often feels left behind when he zooms past. Senyii always nice chatting to you, thanks for the tips on swim gear.

A swim in the morning is really a good start of the days.
I used to do that on every Saturday morning in the past few years.
But, TS is kinda far and the water is not very clean.
*
Lately the water is cleaner, especially in the mornings as that is when they do cleaning and clearing of pool debris smile.gif
Anytime between 7am-9:30am is fine if you are keen to swim smile.gif

B4 this, I met Timetraveller & Senyii for a swim at evening time at TS.
TS's pool shld be cleaner in the morning.
I think it's dirty because the residents and hotel customers don't wear proper swimming attires.
This is really disgusting.

Of course, I'm keen to swim.
But, I still prefer Bkt Jalil over TS....hahahah....
Anyway, I can join you guys for a swim once in a while.

Sure smile.gif Do drop by soon !
