The OriginalSpartacus Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 Anyone in Cape Town been to this pool before for IM training? I am moving to Gardens and it seems like this is the closest pool. Also does anyone know how many metres it is? Can't find much info on the net Thanks

Tiny K Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 Used to swim province so we had Winter SC champs there. they put a bridge over the pool to make it 25m. Pool is about 35m to 40m long. Heated pool Unfortunately I haven't trained for IM so wouldn't know what you require
The OriginalSpartacus Posted August 30, 2011 Author Posted August 30, 2011 Closest pool would be at Wembley Square Virgin Active. Not to sure about LS pool. not keen on paying so much gym fee's to only use the pool! LS pool only costs R12 a session so it will only cost me about R170 a month!
The OriginalSpartacus Posted August 30, 2011 Author Posted August 30, 2011 Just don't drop your soap in the shower..... hahahahahahaha!! thanks for the heads up!
Chubba Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 hahahahahahaha!! thanks for the heads up!no, not heads up!

Heated pool Unfortunately I haven't trained for IM so wouldn't know what you require just need it to be longer than 20m so it sounds perfect! swimming a long endurance session in a 20m pool is terrible cause you feel like you barely get in a rhythm before you have to turn.

It gives you tumble-turn practice for the 100's of turns you will be doing in a lake / sea / dam
Kranswurm Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 When I lived in Oranjezight all the okes who worked in town would swim in Long Street at lunch time in winter and then go to Sea Point pool in summer...dont know if its still there
Chubba Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 Is it clean inside as I have been tempted to go there for some time now.my son goes for swimming lessons there, no issues.

Kranswurm Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 still there in Sea Point, nice pools, just cold.Ag its all in the mind.....used to spend hours in the water at Camps Bay,and then later at Scarborough.
gadget Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 (edited) still there in Sea Point, nice pools, just cold. Jip sea point pool still there. Salt water (not sea water) which I prefer (to chlorine). Also in summer you can swim in the Waterfront canals. From opposite the Audi garage to One and Only and back. Think it is about 1500m Edited August 30, 2011 by gadget
