Has anyone been there yet? How did you find the new place?

Two of my colleagues went and they were waxing lyrical about the place! They said there's a nice swimming pool with a jacuzzi, and even a bowling alley!

They were really bad at giving directions though. Razz

So, who's been there?

Ironically, swimming would be one of the few exercises that would be gentle on your back.

went to MT Faber once, for a swim.

the swimming isnt big and the lanes arent wide enough too. Sad

i dont think it is ideal for swimming. there is a diving school there.

most places have air-con.

didnt venture much in Safra, out of time.

i had to drag myself to the pool just to get started, now it just feels so good to take a dip in the pool after work.

at least my stamina got better, i swam only 4 pathetic laps and i felt so tired.

now at least i can go 10 and above, after that i'll just wade my way to the bubble pool and get a massage! Cool

Huh?! Not an olympic sized pool? Razz

I was telling my colleagues that $3.50 to swim is pretty ex. But they said the facilities there are good and worth it.

Will go and check it out one day!
