The pool

I used to swim there when it was first built, for the 1998 International Goodwill Games. A woman runs master swimming club there.

No troubled water

7am at the club, the pool is empty. The calm water feels eerie .. ha ha ha .. no, feels great. Dive in for a few laps.

At Columbus Circle

Our club’s pool was leaking, it has been under going repair multiple times recently. This last time, they closed it for over two weeks. We can go to other club during the stressful time.

This one is at the basement. Feeling a bit jammed, understandable, its in the city. They have a life guard at the pool. A little over the board?

A double V Day

It’s been snowing a lot lately, and the snow on the ground has been staying put. However, today, Valentine’s Day and 元宵节, weather turned nice, well over 40 degrees that I enjoyed reading with a cup of latte out door. So so nice!

The water temperature at pool at the club is wonderful too – 76 degrees (24) – being fixed for leak. Guess it’s a fresh water and they won’t keep it this low, unfortunately. (Update: the pool was closed. The following date, 2/15, the temperature rose to 82 and is open.)

Plus Pool

In the East River in New York City. This floating Olympus-size swimming pool is still in the funding stage, and hope to open in 2016

Where’s the common courtesy?

A normal day at the gym. Swimming pool was bit chaotic, with a woman so inconsiderate and the club manager seemed powerless to do anything about it.
