Does anyone knows where to buy high powered (800-1000x) goggles ? Any swimming shop around Klang Valley ?
*
wow... thts very high power... i think u may need 2 go to optical shop for tht

anyway for goggles u will need lesser power than usual cuz when under water, the water naturally will produce power also

ya i know, but my actual power is 1500 sad.gif

I have asked various optical shops. They do not sell it. Do you know of any swimming shops around pj or subang ?
*
i have seen before an optical shop in Taipan USJ that has goggles with power. I din buy it is bcuz usually goggles with power are ussually 2 small for my big head. But u can try going to taipan and check it out; best is u avoid going there at night cuz there usually jams at night. I think the shop that i mentioned is at the same row as the new balai polis and meaty house if im not wrong. However, in taipan itself has many more optical shops especially along the same row with mc donalds, which includes focus point, and england optical on the opposite row, so feel free 2 check the rest also.

Or, u can try sunway pyramid... theres 3 swimming shops there: studio R, sun paradise and mad wave. im sure they got sell goggles with power... i bought my goggles at mad wave bcuz they wav the big ones, but too bad no power lah bcuz big sized goggles usually dun come with power, dunno y... but im sure they have those googles where u can even change the goggle lense to the appropriate power or something like tht... but im only affraid tht they dun hav so high power until 1000... cuz i thot the highest power i saw in those shops are only at 500... but still better u go there n double check with them, mayb they hav 2 order or something...

theres another swimming shop i heard in taman mayang... but i havent been there b4 cuz they only open during office hours shakehead.gif

Who's been to Bukit Jalil Indoor Swimming Pool lately? Wanna ask how's the condition and crowds like?
*
i've just been there last 2 weeks ago. condition there is not bad, water is clean, shower heads working... just tht no place 2 hang ur stuffs in the shower partitions. the crowd there in the morning is ok, but as it comes 2 the afternoon i think it will hav more n more ppl. however not too sure abt later in the afternoon cuz i never stay there longer than after 2pm bcuz i usually go there at weekends 12pm-2pm like tht

who has been to tun razak swimming pool? isnt it hot during 2-4.ish pm since its outdoor?? or is there some protection or its not as hot as i think it is?? clarify me plz .thanks
*
i havent been 2 tun razak pool, but from wat i heard in the previous post, it is outdoor. unless it is being shaded by some tree or something... however, 2pm sun is like almost directly above so its hard 2 b shaded by something unless by some sort of roof. so i guess at that kind of time, its too hot to swim. thts y im always looking for indoor pools

Is Subang 3K swimming pool clean enough?
*
from my many experience with 3k's pool, sometimes the water can be quite dirty.

I realize that normally the water there is ok during non-public holidays.

What u can do is: before buying the entrance ticket, u can go in the pool to see the water 1st.

greetings swimmers !!! sorry but im helping my housemate to get a swimsuit/wear. Shes a female btw.
we have a pool at our condo and wanted to take up swimming since the pool is easily available.
she went to jusco and metro and shes not a big fan of the prices. if possible shes trying to get it under RM50. also, she prefer a 2-piece because of her body shape. she also prefer the lower piece to be the 'short shorts' type not the panty bikini type.

if anyone has good suggestions where she might find such store at affordable price for beginners, please do tell.

Thank you.
*
I felt the cheapest is always those jusco or metro superstores, or u can try parkson. Nowadays swimsuits are getting more and more expensive, I guess 2 get a female swim suit below rm50 is quite hard. But mayb can stil get if got mega sale or something.

How was the water there recently? I havent swim since the last time i went 3K and the water was quite dirty. But usually its ok wan, mayb its bcuz tht day was a public holiday and it was quite dirty.
