    Hi, everyone! I’m quite obsessed with swimming, but going swimming by myself sometimes is not very interesting. Is there anyone who is interested in swimming? Let’s go together! My QQ number is 747740627. Looking forward!

    Where do you go swimming in the winter? I’ve been trying to find an indoor pool near Ikea but haven’t found one yet. My complex will have one when the hotel is complete, but that’s looking many months away.

    nice indoor pool is in jinniu district… jiaozi natatorium is a bit expensive (62 juan – i think), but usualy there is just a few people inside and i never had to share lane with another swimmer…

    Thank you. But I want to go to a close swimming pool with friends. That is a little bit far, I think.

    Where are you located? I go to a swimming pool on First Ring Road near 电脑城 in the winter.

    Hi Charlie. I live near the Narrow Street. Therefore, 成都体育学院 is my first choice. However, the swimming pool which you mentioned is not far from 成都体育学院. So, it’s convenient for me to go there as well. When do you usually go to the swimming pool that you mentioned?

    I think the one I went to last winter is 25 yuan. It’s not too crowded, especially compared to other pools I’ve been to in Beijing. It’s mostly lanes and people swimming laps.

    Walk East of that address toward Renmin Nan Lu for a minute or two and you’ll see it on the right side. There are steps leading up to it, if you have trouble ask for the 游泳馆.

    To Horac Pantoc: You are so fashionable! An underwater mp3?! I cant imagine! Yes, you are right. Swimming by oneself is a little bit boring. That’s why I want to find some friends who are interested in swimming to go together. Actually I went swimming in 成都体育学院 swimming pool tonight. It only cost 35 yuan. Opening time is from 7:30pm to 9:15pm.

    Too all:

    I dont know the situation of 四川省游泳馆. If anyone knows, please tell others.Let’s go swimming together next time, friends!

    To Horac Pantoc:I will not go tomorrow. Maybe Wednesday or Thursday is a good choice. What do you think?
