Singapore Swimming Complex/Pool

[insignificantbeng]

Hey, would like to check if there is still restricted timing for public to use the pool? Can I go in the afternoon?

[bnova]

Still close to public in the afternoon. You can only book before noon or after 6pm for an hour slot.

Thanks. So lazy to go to the public pools. Swimming no longer as enjoyable as previously.

[lean n mean]

With way fewer people, there r more opportunities to hv a bit of fun.

[swimboisg]

Anyone going for the 845 slot at Jurong lake pool later tonight?

I suppose even if they closed it till 2100 we can do nothing. 

[firefight]

Not so bad if you live near a public pool

Otherwise afternoon can go SAFRA pools.

If there are more than 1000 complaints of the same reason, they will be forced to take actions. At least, to show his boss that there are doing work. 

[begleitung]

That is true. I doubt we would ever get to that number though, unfortunately.

Such a waste of good sun shine when we can’t go back to the pool decks to tan in the afternoon~ don’t seem to have much alternatives these days.

I signed up for private swimming class & even after 2 hours of teaching i still can’t get my freestyle stroke right & my instructor said, “U spent years using your hands wrongly...now u have to learn how to do the freestyle stroke in the right way”, so my advice? Its gonna take a few lessons for u to fully master it... 

[begleitung]

So the lessons helped, rite?

[begleitung]

Anyone swimming at queenstown soon?

Yes. But still need practice during ur personal time...

[swimboisg]

With the news of everyone allowed to go back to offices and big events. Hopefully pools will be back to normal 100% without restrictions~ and we’ll get to soak up the sun soon.

Weekends..

Sian...the active sg app seems cannot book more than 1 slot per user per day.

 

For Jalan Besar Pool users, if going there, I would suggest avoiding Tues and Thur 7:30 pm to 8:30 pm slots if you want to swim smoothly without worry bumping others. Those timeslots will have a group of people doing aerobic stuffs in the competition pool - they occupy a small part - resulted in 1 lane left for the blue area while most swimmers squeeze at the orange side or the training pool. Though I cannot be sure has the class started since the 6:15 pm slot.

 

Darn annoying to keep bumping into others! 

 

Can't those classes conduct at the training pool??!! Or do it at 8:45 pm slot onward where lesser public users? The morning time slots already not favourable for us who need to prep for works around 7 am +, 6:15 pm is way too rush when finished works around 6 pm + or often meetings drag till 7 pm +.

 

Both 6:15 pm and 7:30 pm slots tend to have crowded lanes... T.T   Weekend have more times to swim but not many time slots opening up. Kinda feel unrest while we workforce working like hell every day and yet the gawmt rules ended up making the pool mgmts making policies favourable to kids, classes and pioneer folks. Sigh....

@Geo: I do agree with you that swimming  in a crowded pool is stressful and ‘traffic accident’ at the pool is annoying. 
what’s more annoying is the authority sets the rule for classes to be conducted at 12noon to 6:00pm but that rule isn’t followed. 
Just to keep the record straight, senior citizens no longer have any privilege in using the pool. Their swim slots are now shared with public.
It has been a while since I swam in the deep pool because there are too many people there fir my liking. Still hoping for some improvements to come and more importantly, SSC sticks to the rules! 

[eminent82]

they are the ones managing the pools  so they can do whatever they want😡.  on paper, they say pools closed for classes from 12 to 6, but in actual they blocked from 9am for those school swim lessons or whatsoever.

Really wonder if they actually utilise or not...so the poor public has to swim in those dark hours with no sunlight except for the 6.15 pm slot which is always very crowded

Anyone knows when is a good time for the morning/afternoon slots?
