Post subject: Swimming

After living here a few months, I got around the exploring some of the options I would have for working out in a pool. Most of the pools I found were small, indoors, dark, and dank. Until now! I found a 50 meter pool in changning district and now wonder if there are any swimmers out there that would like to get a little organized workout going. It's a brand new facility, and pretty nice. The hours might be tricky if you are 9-5, but heck, if anybody is interested, let's just start there and see how many people actually are interested. KW

The pool as at the new International Gymnastic Center on WuYi Lu. The other street is a big overhead highway, so it might be the inter-ring road???? Don't know for sure. Anyway, the fee is $30 unless you buy a yearly membership, which I did for $2,200. I swim a lot, so will get the savings out of this easily.

On to the Stadium pool, what is the deal there? Is it 50 M? It might be a little far for me (that's near Ikea, right?). My other question: is it organized, like with lane ropes and stuff, or just a free-for-all.....?

Would like to join the swim club at Intl Gymnastics Center. Are you meeting up this saturday afternoon? Have not gone swimming since I moved to Shanghai last June. Looking forward to get back into it.

By the way, is the pool heated?

Post subject: Int'l Gymnastic Pool ... Where exactly?!

Just wondering where exactly is the Int'l Gymnastic pool?? Is it better to take the Zhangshan Park Stn exit, or go to Yan'an Rd stn? Do you have directions or a phone number? What about swim times, is it open during weekdays too??

Thanks
