JW Swimming Complex

Yesterday, my parents and I went to Jurong West Swimming Complex. It is just across the road from our house. But yesterday, we did not go straight there because we wanted to have lunch at Kofu foodcourt at Pioneer Mall. After having our lunch, we went to the swimming complex.

First, we went to the lazy river. My father and I went in first. Later on, my mother joined in. We spent a lot of time there.

After that, my father and I went to the water-slide. It is 10.2m in height, so we needed to climb 3 storeys high to reach the top of the slide. It was my first time taking a water-slide that high. I was a bit nervous so I wanted to slide together with my father, but the sign said that we were only allowed to slide one at a time. As my father let me slide first, I had to reach the bottom of the slide before he could do his turn. I enjoyed sliding at the water-slide so I wanted to do it over and over again, but the queue was getting longer and longer so I only had 5 turns to go.

Then we went to the jacuzzi pool. The water was very warm, but the water sprayed very strongly so I only spent a little time there and played at the kids-fun-pool while waiting for my parents to come out.

Later on, we went back to the lazy river. After a while, my parents went out of the lazy river but I kept swimming around. It was very fun.

Jurong East Swimming Complex

School holiday last week was full of rain and strong, cold wind. When finally the sun shone brightly on Friday, Mum took Kate for an outing. The choice fell on Jurong East Swimming Complex with IMM's indoor playground as back up plan in case the weather suddenly change. Kate didn't have a single swim since we discontinued her swimming lesson last month so she looked forward to have one.

This was the first time we went to this swimming complex which was located in walking distance from Chinese Garden MRT. The weekday admission was $1.50 for adult and $0.80 for child. There were bubble jet station for toddler, a fun pool for kids, 0.8 m depth lazy river, wave pool, 3 water slides, jacuzzi pool, and a competition pool. There was also a cafetaria inside the complex. Well, you know how kids get hungry after playing with water. If this was not enough, the KFC cum Pizza Hut restaurant was just outside the entrance to the swimming complex.

As we arrived around 3 p.m. (Kate had skipping rope CCA at school in the morning and Chinese lesson afterwards), we 'only' had about 3 hours to spend there. Kate fell in love with the lazy river and wave pool, and didn't bother at all to play at the kids fun pool. :)
