Kallang Basin Swimming Pool

[bluerunner]

Due to the hijack of this pool for the ex-TPY users, I have little opportunity to swim here. 
I managed to get my afternoon swim today (2Aug). 
I was shocked by the state of the men’s shower room. My favour cubicle is sooooo filthy. Dark mould covers so much of the tiles, as if the floor and the walls have not been washed for ages. The shampoo and bath organiser is broken. It is in such sorry state, really. 
Only the big pool is operating. Thus, all the lanes are occupied. I’m happy that I managed to get a lane.

A couple of weeks ago, I resumed swimming at KB pool. Somehow, it feels easier to swim here compared to my regular haunt at SAFRA Tampines. Have to agree with @bluerunner on the sad state of the shower room. Not sure why nothing has been done to spruce it up with the increased crowd now that TPY pool has closed.

 

Speaking of increased crowd, I took a photo of the pool availability schedule (this was in July) and concluded that:

1) if you wish to swim on weekdays, do it before 5pm;

2) if you wish to swim on Saturday, do it between 2 and 7pm;

3) if you wish to swim on Sunday, do it after 5pm.

This is because of the Pacer and Aegir programmes that take up half of the competition pool (I believe it's the half closer to the PIE cuz of the swim lanes).

I just went there today and showered with open door and sat around at changing area nude for a few minutes, feels good showing my body to the 4-5 uncles around : ) I just sit there and didn’t do anything else because I shy though

You have redefined the meaning of ‘shy’. You have put Oxford and Collins dictionaries to embarrassment 

[vacuumcleanner]

do anyone still come here ?

[Mozzie]

Quite a nice place to cruise except for the time being all the swimming class uses the deep pool as the medium and small pool under renovation. Today quite a nice day.

You were in white trunk today. I thought you looked kinda cool

Today is Hari Raya (31 Mar).

I thought the pool will not be so busy if i go after just after lunch hour but I was wrong.

Almost every lane was taken up but luckily, I found an empty lane just after 5min.

 

No Hari Raya colours of  swimwear. Instead, white colour swimwear took center stage. I have counted at least 4 guys were in white. Half way swimming, I saw an EGDE rainbow swimwear in the water. 

 

In the shower room, it was quite. 1-2 guys were "looking around" and waiting for the other party to initiate. Yawn.....boring.💤 Waiting for the durian to drop will be faster.😄

 

I guess the most important thing was that I had my swim, All good and peaceful until the last 200m, when a "whale" jumped in. Some turbulance and washing machine effect. 

No idea why someone going to swim need to spray so much perfume. I could smell someone's perfume even in the water. Gosh. Maybe he has BO and need the strong perfume to mask it out.

 

Selamat Hari Raya to the Malay lifeguard pakcik who is on duty today.

I was there this afternoon. Maybe I was earlier , only saw 1 guy in white trunk swimming , the other guy in white trunk sunbathing. At the shower room saw a few guys exchanging looks, but we didn't initiate. Initially it was only me in the whole shower room, then came a guy who noticed me in white underwear , then we exchange looks and he undress to let me see his bulge

They lay on their towel, from what I have seen. 
That may not be the most comfortable but given the fact that most pools have removed the sun decks, that’s one of the options. 
Furthermore, they are lying behind the area where the lifeguards are sitting. Can wear sexy swimwear and pull the swimwear lower without being seen by the lifeguard.

TMC can tan either naked or in skimpy. Over there you can tanned at peace of mine. Is great to have such place for people like us to tan without any problem. Tmc is my favorite sauna I regularly there plus I work out in my skimpy undies.
