Public Swimming Pool In Bangkok

[ThiagoBras]

I ve been looking for a while on this site now, and I can t find any reviews/opinions on public swimming pools in Bkk (except this one, which is too far away from my place http://www.thaivisa...._1#entry3728140).

Are they any good? I ve got quite some friends here, but none of them like the water as much as I do :-), so they don t have a clue about public swimming pools.

Anyway, are there any swimmers or triathletes around here? And if yes, where do you go to? I heard there might be one (Olympic even) close to Fortune Town, is this correct?

Despite of the rain, I really feel like jumping into the water and just swim and swim and swim...

Thai Japan Youth Center on the corner of Vipawadee-Rangsit road and Din daeng.

Olympic sized pool. 40b a year to join the entire complex (every sport you can imagine is facilitated for).

All subsidized by the Thai and Japanese government. An amazing place.

Check it out on the net.

Thanks James - I saw that link but did not think the URL would be useful as the way it appears so did not click. It is an odd site, about what I expected - but it does have a map.
