Swim Gear...goggles

Post new topic

Hey! I've been in HCMC for two months now. I'm trying to settle in and find work  as an English teacher. While traveling I wrecked my swim goggles and I need a new pair. I looked through some threads and couldn't find a related topic. I'm sorry if this question has been answered before. Thatnks for any feedback.

All three of the government run swimming pools that I used have small concessions that sell goggles, swim suits, and related items.  I assumed it was universal.  Where are you swimming?

Currently I am Phu Nhuan and I am just swimming at my hotel. I hope to find a regular spot once I am settled. Thanks.

Here is a great piece of research by the incomparable Jaitch (now banned.)  It may be a iittle dated but I think it is accurate still.  You will have to scroll down a ways to get to Phu Nhuan.  It lists the location of the two big public pools and a military pool as well.  I am surprised but apparently there is public access to the military pool.
