Few weeks back, I saw a Caucasian lady and a Caucasian man too. They came for 2-3weeks and they are gone again. 

At least, there isn’t many kids in Dec due to school holiday. Hoping for good weather this weekend and on Xmas day. 

Swim, swim, swim!

Great day at the pool. Festive season, less crowd.

Another one long weekend around the corner. 

Hope for good weather.  

3 consecutive days of swimming ahead!

Swim swim swim 

[Amosjoe]

Anyone Swimming soon?

[Amosjoe]

Anyone here?

[bluerunner]

Long weekend came and gone in a wink. 

2 out of 3 days were raining. 

Finally, the weather was holding up nicely

to permit a swim this afternoon. No totally deserted, good to find a lane for myself to complete my laps. 

Not a bad start for 2018. 

Better weather ahead

Bedok was one of the most open pool showers ever 

[bluerunner]

Today is a very hot day. When the sun is out, the cruisers are out too.

Young cruiser is back at the pool. He just stood there (at the changing area) waiting for kor kor and uncle to come out of the shower cube naked.

[lov_shorts]

Is the pool still closed for renovations?

[Kimochi]

From activeSG website it states till 16may....  Sad 

[lov_shorts]

Damned ... ok go other pool but that pool is so quiet and serene

[Kimochi]

IKR

[lov_shorts]

That pool is really nice to lie down  and relax for a morning... Now I am wondering which other pool is that quiet

That’s right

[JYAG-sim]

Ok, so KB pool has finally opened after renovation works. I went there last Friday afternoon and was surprised to see that it was relatively quiet. There was only one elderly man swimming besides me. Then the rain came pouring down and I had to stop for about 30 minutes before the 'all-clear' signal was given (really freaky weather nowadays). So what has changed?

 

1) There are new diving platforms for all 8 lanes.

2) The wall facing the bus stop (bus services 23 and 966) has been changed to part concrete and part mesh fence, so people walking past can see into the complex.

3) The cubicle tiles (shower and toilet) have been given a new coat of paint (it's blue!) and new fans have been installed. There are new shower heads too. Unfortunately, the floor tiles of the shower cubicles remain in a terrible condition.

 

I left to shower at about 5pm, which is the time when the swimming crowd thickens. Any time before 5pm is good if you like your swim serene and uninterrupted (like me haha).

 

[bluerunner]

I rather disappointed that they did not do anything to the toilet floor. I feel that the toilet floor needed the renovation more than changing fan or changing the starting block or applying a fresh layer of paint to the toilet wall. 

Talking about the toilet wall, on the second day of opening,  there was shit stain on the wall at the urinal. 

[JYAG-sim]

Yup, I share your sentiments @bluerunner. I thought the tiles would be changed too. They're in an extremely horrendous condition...

Exactly. The mosaic in the shower cube is popping up like popcorn!! 

I also saw new faces among the lifeguards.

Oh dear. I hope the old lifeguard does not lose his job because of the kid drowning incident. 

I would like to comment of kids/adults swimming in the deep pool. 

If it’s a kid swimming in the deep pool, parents must be the 1st line of prevention. Parents cannot rely on lifeguards. Lifeguard is your only 2nd life line. The pool can be crowded at times. 

If it’s an adult in the deep pool,  my advise is DO NOT be gung ho and use the deep pool by yourself. Go to the teaching pool. Otherwise, inform the lifeguard that you need special attention while you swim and please get the lane nearest to the side of the pool.

Thanks for yr concern. They need more lifeguard like you.
