World of Leion

The swimming pool is located very near to the NIE canteen. It is in beside the PE block, right beside the oversized hockey court. The hockey court seems to have the area of at least 3 tennis courts.

Here is a picture of the swimming pool.

The pool has 6 lanes. Each lane is just enough for a swimmer to swim in. Should there be 2 swimmers in a lane, they might touch each other if they were to do breast stroke. It should be fine if they are doing front crawl. This pool is small. The length seemed to me just slightly longer than the breadth of a regular swimming pool. I estimate the length of this pool to be about 25 meters.

The opening hours of the pool:

I am not sure if this is permanent but hope not.

One end of the pool is about 0.9meters while the other end is about 2meters.
The water is cool and nice and do not taste salty . However, there is not lifeguard around so any swimming is at your own risk.

I swam 60 lengths of this pool which is about 1.5km. Eventhough the sun is not shiny brightly, I realise I have panda eyes – fair skin at my eye area and dark skin at my face area. It has got to be my goggles. Fel, who swam with me, has no such problem. I regret buying the black goggles a month ago. She had a more tranparent goggles. Maybe that is the reason of my panda eyes.

We made a trip to canteen A too. There is false ceiling. There are more lights and the place looks better now after renovation.
