That Horrible Smell At The Pool !

[dafyduck]

i started swimming at the Sapan Hin public 25 mt swimming pool 2 weecks ago and last Sunday i was surprised when i got there the whole area smelt of garbage,it was unbearable i saw people around the park covering their faces others getting into cars i didnt even bother to go into the swimming pool compound and turned back,again today after almost finishing my swim i started smelling the same smell starting to invade the area lukily by then i was on my way out.Is this always the case aroiund that recreational area and where is it coming from ? are there any plans by the municipality to correct this situation?

The incinerator that burns the collected rubbish is in that area the smell is probably coming from there when the wind blows in the right direction

swimming is a must for me due to back problems is there any alternative decent 25mt pool in the phuket town area?i live in the rassada district.

Yes there is. You know that public park not too far from both monkey points(near blue elephant and all the govt building/prison)? go up north on that road, there will be a restaurant with a massive pool on your left. (its 300meters after the right turn that leads to a recent supalai developement and the seafood place)
