Yea man..you're all welcome. We can all learn together. I've never miss a day without swimming. You can all become my guest. Tmn Desa is the taman before MidValley and after Desa Water Park. Pretty easy to find. The condo's name is Danau Idaman. You'll find it if you manage to find the sole Shell station in Tmn Desa. It is just right next to it.

To answer to the cotton and swimming atire thingy, I think it is for hygenic and safety purposes. If you wear cotton shirt, it'll absorb a lot of water and the moment you stop from let's say floating, the whole shirt will come up and will even cover your head. If the pool is deep, you'll panic and might even get into trouble. Also, water resistance is more if you wear cotton shirt. So, best bet is to wear a swim suit.

Well, let me know when are you guys coming. If you come on normal days, you can always catch me doing my front crawl around 6-7pm. Till to date, I'm still waiting for you guys...come come..

Hahaha. Shah Alam. U know where the uber huge mosque is?

Hey guys and girls! I'm having a whole semester break and now I'd love to learn some new skills which is swimming!

Man, and mah chiropractor told me to do that, since he's commenting on my ribs!

So, i heard KTAR's has private lessons here. Any ideas?

wah.. swimming gathering.. good, good..

ya.. me too alucard... so what r we waiting for.... after raya alucard must teach his apprentice..

Come my young apprentice...may the force be with you. I'm still learning butterfly la. Can move a bit, but not so nice yet..

at least you can move
me just splashing the water like big fish trying to escape from net

Good good..let's learn together. I'm imagining the whole pool full of people splashing to escape from a net...haha...should be funny..

However, I can teach you guys flip turn. Fast way to turn during front crawl.

flip turn, yeah
ive tried many times and fail
please teach us master!

front crawl is free style aight?

woohoo..... u learn by yourself or take a class before?

wah macam macam ah
front crawl ? flip turn ? wahhhh

I know nothing ah hahahahah XD !

long time no swim...miss swim pool
wait until raya to come down

still not to late though
after raya we make the pool happening again!

yeay again....

I'm still learning la. Yes, front crawl is freestyle. I normally describe freestyle = apa style pun boleh...hahaha..There is a little trick that makes it all happen in flip turn. I'll show you what it is when we swim together. But be prepared to get some water into your nose (very painful experience) before you master the flip turn. Preliminary advice is to exhale some air out of your nose before you start your sommersault. Else you won't be able to consistently breath air out once you've initiated the flip.


I learned myself (still very preliminary). No money for a coach... But my kick sucks. Seems to be a bit like breast stroke. I need more practice. Can't seem to stream well as after a 25m struggle, i was gasping for air..hahahaha


No worries rubbermilk, can always start by breaststroke and open turn. It is the easiest and most relaxed style and turn.
