Getting set up - a place to swim


Have found a swimming pool/sports centre nearby to the Lam Son Hotel, on Quang Trung near Front Beach. Went there for the first time this morning. Cost is 12000 dong (about $1 AUD), and the pool is about 20-25 metres long. It is open for swimming most of the day, then has sports like water polo in the evening, and kung fu in the courtyard next door.

Swam for 40 minutes then stopped off for breakfast of bread, omelette and iced coffee on the way back to the hotel.

Hey Richard, great to read your blog and following your progress. Tell us more about the people. Like at this pool, what are the other swimmers like, expats, locals etc.

Hi Vincent - so far both times I've been to the pool I'm the only one there! I know one of the other teachers at ILA has also discovered it, but our visits have not coincided, and like me he is the lone swimmer.
