To be honest; choice of 3k as swimming venue's not good. Pool's too shallow and too packed.

Didn't know the swimming thread's active. Anyways; I normally swim @ Bkt Jalil Aquatic Centre every Wed Night and Sat Evening. Actually; I don't swim too much as I focus more on my rehab exercises for my old injuries; but I do 'bout 3 laps front crawl and 1-2 laps back per session. Don't mind joining the session as I am curious to learn 'bout the flip turn as I think that's the only part of the front crawl I can't get.

Have any of you guys tried Bkt Jalil Aquatic Centre? Believe you me; when I said i've tried almost all the public pools in Shah Alam/PJ/Subang. Bkt Jalil's so far the best for me.

Can any of these 4 Swimming pools can be the best alternative for 3K?
1) Kota Kemuning- Never heard of; never tried.
2) shah alam - I used to go here; place sucks. Zero maintenance. But I haven't gone here post March 2008.
3) Sunway Club - Never heard of; never tried
4) Holiday villa - Tried once; but requires membership.

Just wanna know if you tried swimming in natural lake? Last time used to fish/camp in melawati dam and would swim there, very nice, the feeling is totally different when swimming in the lake, you know the water is more than 100M deep, but suprisingly its easier to tread as compared to swimming pool.

Swimming in deep water is always easier to swim; provided there's no current. This; I think; is because larger water mass = less resistance. However, got to be very careful of undercurrents. Especially in waters which appear calm.

sweat.gif Not because of it's deep then you're easier to swim, it's because of the content of lake water. Lake water have more minerals source, higher salinity and resulting higher density relatively to human body compared to pool water. The theory is the same with seawater, just the factor of salinity is a bit different for each water, seawater consist more sodium but lake from the other way else.... nod.gif

Erm; I was talking 'bout water depth in general. Even in a swimming pool; if the water is deeper; it's easier to move through the water compared to if the water's shallow.
