Ohhh AMK is closed for Reno? Any idea when will it be opened?


Haven't swam in years and was thinking of going to AMK pool.  Now that it's closed, any suggestion for alternative?

Just tried Delta as some members asked me to go. Sunday 3pm plus. Lotsa people.

The shower layout is great, facing each other. But cant do much there.

Walked Ard found another shower toilet at the hall. Walked in and one guy openly stand at the urinal but facing outwards showing his non existing dick. So unappealing. So daring of him to do that.

I just walked off

Wonder is there any more male shower facilities with communal shower or open door concept? 

Although there is none, you can always leave your door open while showering and walk out to the open area to soap yourself. 
Just DO NOT wet the whole floor. Be considerate, yeah.

Do anyone get bothered when there are many lifeguard around in the pool you swim, looking at you? 

 

I know it's for my own safety, but I know how to swim and would much prefer privacy. Some very few lifeguard seems to stare a lil too long.

I also wonder if they sometime judge if this person is gay or not.

 

Edit: to further clarify, most often there are already kids around the pool so the focus should be on them. I'm also wearing a rectangular swimming trunk and not a Gstring. Not good looking&no good body.

It a matter of seconds when help is required and from passed experiences that amount of guards are not even enough to ensure safety of everyone. Many underestimated their abilities or the depth of the pools. While other are only busy doing their own activities to take note when help is required. When someone is struggling and in panic mode, it risky for untrained bystanders to render help. When the help is required off the walls, time is also a factor. Many of us fail to note that in helping others these folks in actual fact put themselves at huge risks. So please give them the due respect. 
Had an experienced just slightly off the beach trying to assist a couple who had overturned their canoe they were on. Despite the lady having a life jacket, her struggle is real. In an attempt to ensure her safety as well as mine had to keep my distance or risk being pulled down by her. Likewise at the pool when helping someone who is much bigger and heavier than myself. It is difficult to calm the panicking minds. They would be struggling and in the process swallow water into their lungs and case more issues even if the pool depth isn’t that great. Only take one stroke to go down but multiples to get to them. At the moment only 2 stationed at each pool while one or two goes on occasional patrol.

Appreciate the long note, I've already considered all that and have always been deeply grateful for what lifeguard do. It's just I am self conscious and dislike someone staring at me a lot when the priorities should be on others (kids in the pool). Often the lifeguard are kinda ah beng looking/vibe or uncle-rish while I am quite the soft one so I feel intimidated. 

 

I'm actually considering signing up for classpass for dedicated hotel pools for this very privacy reason 🥹. I guess this is a me-isssue, self confidence issue and gotta work on it.

Lifeguards do NOT care if you are gay or straight. In fact, they have seen enough gay men at the pool that your gay aura has probably given you away way before you realized it.

Back to your concern, lifeguard will only pay attention to you under the following circumstances:

1. You action is causing danger to the other pool users.

2. You have violated the allowable dress code and he is about to give you warning.

If you are none of the above, you have prolly over-think/over-analyze the situation.

Agreed. Having said that, it's understandable some individuals prefer to not be looked or stared at (even if it's temporarily) due to various reasons or past experiences that shape them to be like so. I hate being stared at in the gym and pool too. If it helps to get a peace of mind, exploring an alternative such as going to a private pool might be a worthwhile investment if you are very particular about it. Indeed, in life, we always have choices (going for something as "no choice" is a choice itself too).

 

Otherwise, it is also a worthwhile investment to train oneself to not overthink or learn to heck care. Either way, both works :)

When it comes to Guest accounts in BW, it is always best to take their words with a pinch of salt or to ignore them.

Chill bro, let me state ahead that I am not targeting you or your postings. Just wanted to share my perspective of the issues you brought up. As we sometimes tend to overlook or overthink into certain situations. As a regular in a public pool, what I had experienced, first hand. 
1. Kids are not the only people that will drown or need assistance. As mentioned in my earlier postings, had encountered muscled young man, teens etc. These days especially when we become so cosmopolitan, many are first time user to our public pools or even the pool. Had seen with my own eyes how they panicked right in the middle of competition pool. 
2. I must admit how amused I am by your intimidation of our guards. 😂 After all they are not baywatch hunks that can crash anyone to death with a handshake 🤭. Btw this so called ahbengs or uncle-rish in your eyes might be big softie if you really got to know them 😜 🤫 . I admit I am one nasty bitch and had reported wrongdoings often, only to see these so called ‘intimidating’ guards giving a very pleasant pep-talk. There after giving me that looks that I need to give them a chance. So perhaps, don’t be too quick to judge them, they might not be as harsh as you think they are. Had seen, many times, how they patiently and discreetly, approached guys who jumped into the pool in undies. Gave them pep talks and educated them on our rules/system and sympathetically telling them how they can’t allow them to continue swimming in undies. Had also seen many times how the guards have patiently walk to the end and waited for the swimmer to reach the wall just to inform the swimmer nicely how they had violated the lap lanes by going the wrong directions. 
so give them a chance. If you approach them, you’ll be pleasantly surprised how friendly and nice they can be.

indeed, before queenstown pool was closed for renovation, I even worn in thong or g-string for sun tanning at the bed near the life guards, we even chit chatting together. The China guard complimented my body and cock outline when i erected to maximum under the scorching sun and oil as he knew I was a gay

just wondering how they "looking" or "staring" at you until u feel so uncomfortable 
i went to swimming pool twice a week, i never feel that way of being "look" by the guard. I don't look at them either but when i am having some "condition" i notice they look at me immediately and observing me.

the "condition " that i had was i feel uncomfortable and stop half way due to headache or my leg are having very light muscle cramp. The reaction i made when i feel uncomfortable is very light but noticeable action. I feel that they are doing the right thing when they "detected" someone is "swimming with some issue that might cause accident".

l kind of agree that children are not the only "people" that life guard need to pay attention.

maybe you should take it easy if u r not doing anything wrong and wearing any improper dress code, just part of their job to ensure everyone is safe
