Katong Swimming Pool

I stepped into Katong Swimming Pool for the first time in ...32 or 33 years!!!

Lovely memories flooded my mind. I walked around and just feels like I'm walking into my old school.

Truth is, I swam like 2-3x a week there when I was young so I did spend quite some time in that swimming complex.

It's run down, condition as old as my age. I'm surprised they didn't renovate the place. But in a way, I'm glad they conserved it for me to see it today.

The ramp we used to run up and down before/after class. Oh! The doorless kids' shower area. On days when I went swimming with the school, I told my mom I washed myself. Haha! She had to deal with spilt ends and damaged hair.

And those water spouting animals in the baby pool still scares me. On our swimming days, my bro and sis had to gang up and go "deng deng deng deng..." Jaws the movie was popular then. I screamed and ran out of the pool. They left me in trauma!! If you think sometimes I am crazy, it's all thanks to them.

Keke! Actually, as I related to 2 other mummies, that becoz' of those water spouts animals I still had some fear in me. I was swimming in hotel in Istanbul, suddenly I saw Medusas spouting water from my sides. I was so frightened and went out of the pool after that.

I’ll be here on a few Fridays until the Swimsafer program is over for lil’ one.
