Swimming at Putrajaya

As of his usual birthday, H refused to be celebrated. To bait him, I suggested that we do the usuals, like swimming and eating at our regular eat-out place. He consented and here we were at Precinct 6 Water Sports Complex again. The difference this time was I insisted that we had a walk by the lakeside first. Having a knack for photography, H easily got lost in the beauty of the scenery. I must say that we both had a very relaxing time strolling by the lakeside and piers.

We usually go here after Asar as the evening swim session starts from 5 untill 7pm. We are always rushing because we want to make the most of the swim session, that we do not have time to stop and really take the view in.

This time around however, we did not just spent time on the piers, we also walked up to the man-made sandy beach area. This little beach is right next to Pullman Hotel. The sand there is as white as that in Pulau Perhentian, Terengganu (as we've only been to this Island for comparison) and I was brimming with pride for the architect of this place who has thought of incorporating this unique little beach with the lakeside. It's clever!

However, swimming is not allowed here. Fair enough I guess, especially when there's an Olympic size pool nearby.

The pool is closed every Monday. Female only session is every Tuesday and Thursday. Since I swim with my husband (he's my swim coach), we only go here either on Wednesday,Friday or the weekend.

Here's a little information about the swimming pool at Precint 6. Much for my own reminder.

2. Session starts at 9AM-11AM, 1-3PM & finish at 5-7PM
2. Female-only session is at 5-7PM every Tuesday and Thursday.

4. Requires full swimming attire.
5. It is an outdoor pool. Standby with ze sunblock.

**H & I have a thing for this waffle sold outside the pool area.  We tried it on the first day we went swimming there and there's no turning back. It's the only one anyway. The waffle is often hard and the filling's not evenly spread. But there's something about eating warm dry waffle after swimming that's addictive. I guess it has a lot to do with making our own little tradition  :)
