Could you coach us? Where do you usually, or rather use to swim?

wanna to send my daughter to swimming class....what age is best for her? where can I find this kind of class? around subang?

@smallbug: Would like to but unfortunately I can't at the moment haha. Too busy with classes I usually swim in a couple of places last time. Basically in mostly in Kelab Syabas (near the huge A & W in PJ although this pool is closed already), the Selangor state swimming pool (the one near Kelab Shah Alam Selangor in Shah Alam) and the pool in Kelana Jaya. Only go to Bukit Jalil ocasionally for centralised training when it is near international meets.

@ALPS2008: Bro the younger the better. I started when I was 5 years old but generally don't have to start so early also can lol. The best age to learn i'd say is basically age 10 or younger. At that age the body is not developed or haven't started developing I'd say its easier to do stroke correction. Learning the styles is actually not hard. The hard part is having the right stroke and doing it correctly and effectively. Older than that is not to say you can't but it is harder because as you get older your body, muscles, bones etc tend to get stiffer. And trust me if you are doing a certain style correctly, (in my case butterfly because I'm a butterfly specialist last time ) You will move much faster without having to put in much effort which of course you will feel its less tiring and you can last longer If around Subang I'd have to say the only place is 3K although the pool in Kelana Jaya (not a sheltered pool though) and the Selangor state pool in Shah Alam do offer training for beginners as well.

Wah
Teach me Teach me!!!!
Lolx, I want to learn so badly >"<
previously learn a bit but then skin allergic not sure is because of the water or what
Now fully recover already but no one teach me >"<
I am planning on one of the Saturday, do you guys want afternoon or night?

Choose a place first.. then find out the shift times.. usually these public pool areas.. not open from morning till night one.. got break in between... for me , I would prefer night. Less hot.

oh er..... actually i mean about the gathering
I don't think want to have a gathering at the pool, may be at one cafe where all of us can sit down and get to know each other
I am thinking on either Saturday afternoon or night. Any opinion?

Sounds quite okay with me..
Yup, for the 1st meet just do it in a cafe to get to know each other
Just find a place that is convenient for everyone.

I'm not sure how many here are from PJ/KL
How about a meet up on either this Saturday night or following Saturday night at ss2?
Working on that and hopefully get to meet up with most of you guys.

Or any other suggestions are welcome!

Next saturday night in SS2 is ok for me.
Let us see the response from the other forumers 1st.
Common guys n gals, lets meet up!

Hi, maybe you can mention what years you competed.

I've swam for Malaysia between 1984 and 1992. I competed in the SEA Age Groups from 1984 to (I think) 1992. I just checked the results of the one that just finished in Thailand a couple of weeks ago, and my only standing record survived another year, and is now 19 years old I've also competed in the Asian Age Groups, Asia & Pacific Age Groups, and SEA Games. I think I'm a bit old, so I think it might be unlikely that I would know you. You might have heard of me, though... Maybe... Coincidentally, I'm also from Selangor, so i represented Selangor in all the local school to national competitions except for one year which I think I swam for FT/WP.
