let me just list the pol that i ve been

1. Chin Woo Stadium (near Merdeka Stadium)
2. Bandar Tun Razak (next to the Lake)
3. Kelana Jaya (next to the Lake)
4. Bukit Jalil Sport Complex ( The Best Place for Swimmer!)

i just know this 4, but most of the time i go to Bukit Jalil and Bandar Tun Razak but that was when i live at kajang. Now im in Segambut, so the nearest will be Selayang pool but i havent been there yet.

where exactly you live?

you are right, hahaha
dato keramat ya,
i dont see any pool nearby your place

but.... 

when there is will there is a way 

hahaha, sorry for the laugh
im a heavy smoker and i can dive for a minute in the sea though

no worries about that

good to hear that you already with the water
just take it slow and practice a lot
sure you can make it eventually

the felling of swimming in the sea water and pool water are not the same. sea water is denser more then pool water. Therefore we shall fell a slight increase of pressure while swimming in the sea water.

In the sea i prefer to do free dive and relax swimming instead of intense stroke. It is not really a minute, more like almost a minute depending how the coral underneath look like, if it is so beautiful then i seriously love to spend more time underneath.

i wanna swim cause i want to keep fit , therefore i must swim like gilagila.
I DONT EVEN KNOW HOW TO FLOAT. :'(

how to relax la when im in the water..  ._.

lets make a club ?

great good for you then

it wasnt hard though

just need a will to make what we dream of become reality.

now im trying to do the butterfly stroke, quite hard
but i would not give up.

go for it man,
make sure you learn how to control you breath in the water.

few Qs for u
when you do the free style, did you exhale in the water?
or your face is all the way above water?

simple explanation
while doing the free style
you should inhale above the water and exhale in the water
you can either inhale and exhale for each stroke or few stroke then breath.

then you should make your whole body swing from left to right side. Meaning you body should face to the left when you right hand is going forward and otherwise.

try not to be stiff with the whole body facing down all the time. this will increase the resistance and end you get tired early.

Hey swimmers. Can I ask u a question?
1. Y is it in swimming pools, u cant wear cotton?
2. Y cant u wear a shirt in swimming pool? (male)

Thx

1. I believe polyester and other synthetic materials are tougher than cotton.
2. Can, why not? It's the same reason you don't wear swimming trunks in an office. Nobody's gonna call the cops. But your officemates might think you are a bit cuckoo for doing so. If it's for religious reasons, there are bodysuits available for swimming. 

alucard_my;
wah, swim everday huh....

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..

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

So next week is raya. Going to have a group swimming thing after next week?

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.

Actually one swimming pool is more than enough for all of us. Problem is getting there altogether at the same time.

sunway Club only welcomes member.
1 year membership - RM 1500 (can bring 3 guests)
Lifetime - RM 6K inclusive of families

No swimming pool nearby Setapak? Always ask but only got at other areas. Zzz...I have certificate provided by Kota Kinabalu Swimming Center, can teach people hehe...But never learn back stroke...Don't know what's the actual timing to breathe and do kicking on wall...

Not sifoo la....-.-ll....4 styles only know 3...zzz...The style I love the most is butterfly anyway, really feel like flying but in water

If have chance I will definitely join you guys...But I am new in KL, now only can swim around Setapak area...

am i too late to join ?

when is the next date to swim together ?

Swim illegally in Prima Setapak condo, haha...
