2nd day of the newly opened Sengkang Swimming Complex

Took the LRT from Renjong station to Farmway to reach the newly opened Sengkang Swimming Complex...the view of Buangkok mrt and the newly built flats

The Sengkang Sports Complex:

Beside the Sports Complex is the Anchorvale Community Centre

From the swimming pool entrance, this is what you can see......it actually consist of 6 sections: indoor olympic size training pool of depth 1.2m, olympic size outdoor competition pool, playground pool, baby pool, jacuzzi pool and slides pool..click to see bigger photo:

The indoor 8 lanes olympic size pool...i thought is another competition pool until i swam a length of it and found it to be 1.2m thruout.....water here is cold...i think because is sheltered......not many pple swimming here...pool is cloudy when I swam there.......

Photobucket

you can see the jacuzzi pool in the foreground....it got 3 outlets for a person....one for lowerback and 2 for each calf of both legs.....good for post-run massage...background is the slides area...I tried it and is fun...like last time big splash but shorter......favourite of the kids and teenagers

The playground pools for the families

This is the compeition pool...I was shocked at the condition under water.....the water is clear but a lot of sand particles at the pool floor.....mud stains also....and one side of the pool wall was full of mud stain.....not a lot of swimmers....but cannot justify the condition......although stadium construction is beside but 2nd day of opening cannot cause so much mud stain.....i complaint to the lifeguard about it...........like pasir ris beach water....8-(

Photobucket

stayed till 8pm...the flood lights are strong..the whole place was very bright at nite...click to see bigger photo:
