Anyone been to chin woo swimming pool in kl?last time I used to go but after my fren left kl,I did not go d cos no membership..anyone know how to get the membership?

hello. err.. i think if it's either you get swimming lessons there to be a member/train there regularly/be a coach there or you need to be the club member.
i think it's this way but still not sure how it works over that side..

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..
*
flipper usually you buy from your swimming coach and the price depends on your shoe size. i bought at around RM50 5 five years ago....
paddle - never really buy before..
i think madwave(the curve) shop or speedo(empire gallery) shop would be good, sun paradise is very expensive. other than that you can buy from swimming pool that has those shops that sell swimming items. smile.gif

you can search for more outlets of madwave and speedo.

Hi All,

Anyone of you having arm/shoulder pain during swimming?

What are the causes? How to solve this?

Need advise..

Thanks
*
nope, i dont have. is it muscle pain or what? did you do stretching or warm up and warm down after you swim? or maybe your stroke is a lil wrong?

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..
*
gear is to train specific parts of your body.
flipper - leg
padddle- hand
pull buoy - hand
maybe that's the reason why your hand is pain.

do stretching before going down the pool and after swimming.
put yoko yoko/ counter pain cream/ put ice. if it's muscle pain, im sure after 2 days you will recover smile.gif

no get coach la, i know butterfly stroke just that need someone who know can kind enough to correct to reduce drag and correct push.

eg. butterfly stroke form a keyhole or straight push back correct technique, require on site illustration instead of theory i find on internet.

maybe i get someone film my stroke and post it here.. this past 2 months i swim 5 to 6 times a week..

do wave-like movement. strengthen your core and abs.

50mins sprint.. on long course time still not that great.. 1500m last measured at a month ago, roughly 36mins
*
every 100 m would be around 1 mins + so 1500m would be around 20mins smile.gif

all goggles are anti-fogged by defaut, the coating will worn off within a month to my experience (bought a RM90 speedo goggles last time, same case).

on the power get something lower cause i heard it will cause dizziness, i cant comment on this area cause I am wearing non powered goggles although my astig is close to 450 at one eye, 350 another.

never bother to get expensive goggles now, before this using arena Rm29.90 goggles to swim alright, but lost it one night before Kapas Marang..  important is that the goggle must fit your face feature / shape

regarding antifog solution, all those expensive antifog solution simply doesn't work.. What I do is that.. I will either - use shampoo dilute with water.. or spit saliva on it..
*
agree.
can even wear contact lens to swim or with normal goggles outside. it wont fall off.
