2nd day of CNY. Pool has larger crowd than usual; family w kids going on an outing at the pool, people w avoid house visiting and/or nothing better to do (aka like me!), go to have a few relax laps. 
The pool may be busy but at shower time, I do not see many people inside the shower room. Eee… I cannot leave the pool without a quick rinse especially my hair!!

Did you swim today? Post your stories here.

Are you hot? If yes… hell yea!!! It’s VERY happening.

Cool, thanks for answering. I had the impression that weekend mornings would be dull since there are a lot of children

Yes. Children classes are on weekend morning and late afternoon (after 2pm until 6pm). You do find adults going at these times too. 
Personally I will avoid the pool with too many children. Cannot ‘tahan’ the kids  screaming and over-zealous parents.

Pool today seems empty even though I expect more people. 
Perhaps there are more people returning to work? Looking at the number of people queueing up for the gym, I am unsure if my thinking is still valid. 
Anyway, empty pool means more lanes to choose from. Just lack of ‘scenery’ 😝

Rain can bring pleasant surprises. 
Sometimes, I go to the training pool too. Less crowded, more space. 
The downside of lesser people is less eye candy opportunity.

True, some guys don’t like to get too tanned so they go on cloudy to drizzling days. If the lifeguard close the pool when the rain gets heavier, you’ll have the whole shower to yourself, but sometimes can have surprising encounter. 😉

In the pre-Covid era, sudden heavy showers may mean the entire crowd has to leave the pool and go to the showers.  Depends on whether u like a crowded shower room 😝 or upset that action /potential action disrupted lolz

True. During daytime it would be quiet on weekdays, hence….

An idea - people with photographs of old swimming complexes should collate them, including the shower rooms.  Piece of architectural and cultural history that Singapore should retain.  Should bring back memories for many cruisers out there lolz 😂 

 

example recall Buona Vista Pool. Complex design itself was quite standard but the shower room was unique - helps many to understand meaning of communal showering ◡̈ 

Good idea, lol

[Justaboi]

Actually can anyone teach swimming here I thought I'd learn in ns but due to covid I never got the chance haha

[superman888]

Can ask now the swimming slot from 6.45 am to 2pm  and 6.15 to 8.45pm is open to public? Afternoon 2pm to 6.15pm is closed for public?

Yes and yes. 

[bluerunner]

Today, I notice a new change in the pool changing room. Previously, alternate basin and urinal were marked off to prevent users from using them. Today, all the blockers is taken off!

I guess SSC management is responding to Government’s move to do away w social distancing if you are masked. 
With the new measures, will there be more swimming slots made available (meaning the pool will get more crowded!!) ?

🤔

I was hoping that they remove the time slots so that we can go at anytime we want.

[JohnDoe12]

but technically when you're swimming or immediately after you finish you won't be donning a mask right? 

[Maxim]

Another peeve practice is why do they place their shoes/sandals on the benches? 

We put our bags on benches right???

Nah. Swimming is an individual sports. You can only have a swim buddy if both of you swim at the same pace and intensity. Both need to be swimming together for sometime to achieve that. Otherwise, it’s a failure before even started. 
Go find another person. Good luck.
