Swim more often etc? No. I do my swim as per normal. Even tho the swim time is 50min for the 1hr slot, it’s enough for me to do my laps. It can be a positive thing. It makes one to swim, swim and swim and don’t waste time doing anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am happy w this news but at the same time, it has no impact on me because 9am-12nn is working time. Cannot be doing swimming, unless I’m on half day leave. Well, I reckon the 12noon slot will be crowded. If only SSC has listened and has opened up 11am-2pm instead. That’s more practical Some changes are better than none, I guess.

Can u pls extend our usage time? Thx, Swimmers." A pool is unlike a gym. If you allow 90min of pool usage, you are denying many from using the pool. For most people, 50min of non-stop lap swimming is enough for a good workout. The remaining 10min is for you to wash up. Why do you need 90min in the pool? Training for 5km swim?

Usually it's the old folks who have horrendous awful habits, not only do they spit in the water, you can also hear them clearing their throats continuously in the showers. That's why these days I wear my slippers while showering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
