Use kickboard is indeed harder to move forward especially your arms on the kickboard (which means your head is above water) while if your hands holding the board (your head dive in the water), you'll find easier to move. The leg must be straight. Think of your legs like two oars (straight). If you bend your knees, you will not move forward.

For first lesson, try with your upper half body at the pool side, while legs in the water.

They are back to operation for quite some time and they are utilising card system for the pool entrance now... You need to register and pay for the card (prepare RM15) and basically you are charged via credit deduction for every visit...

o .. thanks for the info ..
been long time never swim there after my office moved to ara damansara. (1 years ++ )

Sometime will think of 3k when rainny day and wanted to swim... thumbsup.gif

If you stay around Subang, then you still can visit this place  biggrin.gif
On the other hand, swimming at 3k Subang on rainy days are quite scary... The water is freezing cold  cry.gif
But now I'm kinda used to it so it shouldn't be a problem lolz...

hahahahaha ... for me .. first jump in i cannot tahan .. but after 1 2 lap should be ok ...

Guess it's never good to be short  cry.gif

I was at the side of the pool for the whole time because I can't swim. I stood in the pool with tip of my toes, lols.

Btw, can people stay aloft in the pool without touching the ground?

30 years old is still very young especially for guys.

Well, i'm targeting to learn freestyle for my very first swimming stroke. Actually, what stroke is easiest to learn?
*
i will say breast stroke ... cause my sister just teach me how to kick and how to crawl .. then everything self learn ...
ya .. normally i will see how people swim then try to imitate .. tongue.gif
slowly then can swim ..
but free style .. till now still not kick well but at least have improvement (ya .. it moving ... slowly .. )

luckily nowadays have youtube .. so can see from youtube .. last time no youtube then need see how people swim at the pool ..

haha, that's what i did looking at others how to swim. when they noticed i was looking at them, i quickly looked away and changed target. It was very awkward.

I have learned some technique on youtube but is yet to try them out. hopefully, it will work.
*
hahahha ... me too ..
my advice is .. keep practice and keep practice ...
try find more friend and swim with you la .. maybe u can get some idea and he/she might able to help you in swimming ..
and swim with friend is more fun ..

not many friends are interested in swimming. they are more to body building like going to gym which i think is super overrated. Managed to find a friend but he ditched me about 1 hour before we promised to meet at the entrance of the swimming complex.  vmad.gif

most probably i will go to swim alone from now on. Very tired of 'begging' others to go.

hahahaha ... i tue, thurs is body building (my company have gym room provided) ...
then mon is cardio, Wednesday is swimming day (manage to "lao" my colleague swim and he only available that day ) ..

ya ... try to lose some weight ..

Never get the idea of building their bodies to musclemen like The Rock. Not to mention some of them failed and become fat men.  doh.gif

IMO, having a body shape like a swimmer is more than enough and look more balance. I'm still looking for friends to go with me but just not as aggressive as before. I will probably ask and if you want to come, you come. if dunwan then nvm.

Wasted two weeks waiting for my friends to go with me and last last none of them appeared.

luckily im not toward "the rock" .. bruce.gif
just to build some muscle la cause i was a very skinny type guys .. now have abit muscle look ok abit .. if not kinda nerd .. smile.gif

hahahaha ... maybe u can meet some friend at pool too ...
cause always saw the same person in the pool then sometime just say hi .. slowly become swimming friend .. thumbup.gif

Long time didn't update here.
I finally learned how to do free style albeit I do not think I am doing it efficiently. I guess practice will make it perfect.
Now I am learning butterfly.
Holy S**T, this is even harder to learn than free style.
my waist, my butt, my legs, all so stiff i am like doing machine dance in the pool instead of wave like motion.
how do you guys practice that wave-like moving body?

congratz .. while i still learning freestyle .. cry.gif
