Hate those who go pool with big bunch of friends, then stand the middle of the pool for the whole day chatting.. = ="

Lately start to swim again, felt very lost.. Any place having swimming lesson?

My goggle's rubber drops off when I wash them I guess.. now lost... gotta get another goggle.. again..

No sure what to get.. expensive or cheap they all seems the same. I bought one RM90 and got stolen.. then I bought another for like RM30 and it's almost the same..

Where does it hurt?

I tried the TI style, it's relaxing but then.. something still seems not right for me.. my breathing not that smooth, I can only breath better from the right side but not left.. don't know how to turn my head up so I can take a deep breath, my breath intake is always quick and rushed.. Thus upon finishing 25m I already started to lost my breath

Any idea how to train to swim long distance? Those swimathon, swim from island to island, how did they do it?

Kinda interested too.. they offer course almost everywhere in klang valley.. but I think I enquired before, their price is on the high side

The best I tried back few days, 1km at 30mins,.. I cant freestyle all the way, have to alternate free and breast each lap.. my freestyle breathing is not good, too taxing and I'm already run out of breath when reaching the other end.

After the swim I got dizzy for the entire night

Shud be no problem.. kinda hate it when I swim I cant do it continuously. Swimming getting worse instead of better...

But never seen such event before.. The swimming is in open water.. It's gonna be harder

just leave ur nose slightly higher when u rotate ur body? i think it will prevent water form going in

Hmm kinda difficult to me, my speed only around 1k / 30mins, too slow to do these event..

I did 1 mile (ard 1650m) + warm ups in 1:10, really slow pokes, my body rotation towards left is cacat, so is my left hand catch, makes my body unbalance when I swim, always hit the floating lane guide.. After swim due to over rotation in one direction, my whole body is aching now

You swim your laps, they gay and backstab over there..

Best water for me is Bukit Jalil and Taman Permaisuri (Bandar Tun Razak), but both toilet sucks.
I rather good water than good bathroom pool than poor water quality which I just bare it for a while during bathing, or worse, change and bath ta home.

Kelana I used to go as a kids, ever since renovated (10years back?) I never been before



Running is quite ok i think, so is cycling, but to do them at one go is quite difficult.

I think if you can swim non stop you should be good to go, as most of us join endurance race for our own sense of achievement rather than aiming for podium finish.

The nearest I can think of is Malakoff Duathlon, cant remember the detail try google for it, sort of 3.5km run, cycle 10 or 15km then run 3.5km

cause you cannot surf forum while you swim, probably those godlike ppl can do it while MTBing and Running hehe

Yeah I wanna try Putrajaya Pool one day, maybe today

Any idea where is the best place to get training flipper, paddle, and pull-buoy? I realise buying up the set would set me up near to RM200..

I have it too, main reason not relax enough..

How to be relax? I am still learning it...

Yup, I'm in a class now as why I need to get those gear as mentioned. Did near 3000m that day.. My strokes are wrong, when I leave my arms, I am actually pushing my whole hand forward and not lifting my elbow high enough according to the coach..

How far is cheras to Bukit Jalil? i stay in Cheras too, it takes at least 20minutes to get there but well.. that's what you need to do if you wanna swim.. what to do..

I used to go Tun Razak Pool but their time is too odd and I cant accommodate to their time, their pool is really clean tho.. I have no complains about their water cleanliness.. Both toilet is below satisfactory level but you can always bath at home afterwards if you really cant stand it

lol i stay in cheras, travel to nilai for work, then go bukit jalil swim, then go back home..

I am learning that.. well not exactly learning. Just someone to push u to swim more.. did 4000m yesterday.. only my 2nd class.

They offer various classes, try enquiry..

Bandar Tun Razak is cheap, used to learn there but it's matter of luck which coach u get, some is good some just main main.. walk in la.. i dun think they bother to answer ur call

Oh.. there's a lot of kids learning there, perhaps u can join the adult class (join me? haha) when you fetch ur children over. at least it's better than most parents sitting there 2 hrs doing nthg or playing with ipad/iphone
