HCm city is hot these days. So i want to find someone to go swimming with me at Rach Mieu pool (1 Hoa Phuong, D.Phu Nhuan) or Nguyen Tri Phuong Pool (8A, D10). Are you interested in?

deddyp

I wonder, where is nice swimming pool in town, which have depth 2 meter, is it in Rach Mieu has?

Guest2023

Ky Hoa on 3 thang 2 D10 has a decent pool.

kientrung.tran

maybe in D.7. I have not swum there yet

Any place in Binh Thanh or D1?

kientrung.tran

I think Rach Mieu Pool is not far from Binh Thanh District. And i have not heard about the pool around D1, except some pools inside the hotels

Guest2023

There is a pool on Nguyen Thi Minh Khai, behind the sports club. The best pool is in Van Thanh park on Dien Bien Phu street before the Saigon Bridge. Its a resort style pool in lovely gardens and is very,very clean, look it up on Goggle maps

kientrung.tran

the more money you pay, the more beautiful the pool is. hihi

Swimming pool In Văn Thánh, Bình Thạnh Dict is a nice one.

Guest2023

I wouldnt call it expensive, but it depends what you call expensive

kientrung.tran

with me, the normal price is about 15000 VND. hihi.

Guest2023

Well Im not evern going to say what I think about your price.

mama hao

Still have 15000 place?

kientrung.tran

yes, it is. 15000 VND/ticket

Guest2023

That would be for just an hour,yes.

kientrung.tran

If you come in the morning, you can swim the whole time with a ticket. for the afternoon, you just have an hour to swim.

Guest2023

Thats what I thought, so the other pools I said dont do that, much better value then 15000 for an hour

kientrung.tran

But i like going swimming in the morning. So i don't care about the time

I go swimming almost every afternoon at 1pm at Dai The Gioi swimming pool. Tell me if anyone wants to join :D

Guest2023

Might help if you actually said where it is, not just the name of the pool.

Dai The Gioi Waterpark
1106 Võ Văn Kiệt, Ward 6, D5 , HCMC
A nice indoor swimming pool near Nguyen Tri Phuong bridge, free sauna included:D

Is it many people on weekdays? How much for the ticket?

Guest2023

The bathrooms there are not clean and the pool is very dark due to having a roof over the top. But its ok if your scared of the sun.

I usually go at around 1pm so there are not a lot of people that time, but It will be very crowded at weekend because it's a waterpark. The ticket is 40k or 45k, I dont remember exactly because I paid 550k/ 20 times.

Yah, The worst about that swimming pool is the bathrooms. But I think most of the bathrooms in public swimming pools are the same. The pool there is nice. If you go there around noon its not so dark.

They separate the lane for newbie and for people who want to swim seriously :) . Compare to other swimming pools that I went before. This one is pretty good

Unless, because of the conditions of the bathroom, people just "go" in the pool...

Guest2023

Well after swimming in a chlorinated pool you should shower, but as you say, people just piss in the pool.

butlersrevenge

I'll definitely check it out!
