Hi guys.
I'm originally from Vietnam, went to the US for high school. I'm now back in HCMC to take some gap years before heading back to the US for college next year. I was in the swim team when i was in high school so i can say i'm a semi-pro swimmer. I still go swimming everyday. Anyone or any coach wants a swimming buddy ? i would love to have some companions with me cause swimming session can get really really boring sometimes. If u don't know how to swim but willing to learn, i can teach you some basis .
Hit me up if u interested

Maybe in India they do that because all they can think about is woman. In the US, we take swimming serious. It's not always about dating like in ur country. It's about having fun and make memories. That's what we do in the US . And why the hell would i want a date if im only here for a year ?

mondrahul:聽 He doesn't need to seek swimming buddies for dates.聽 I swim laps, not at all competitively, but I find it is easier to keep myself motivated if I swim with my wife rather than alone.聽聽If I swim alone, I frequently cut my workout short.

Besides he may have the ultimate aphrodisiac for Viet women going for him: the blue passport or the second best, a green card.

There is Olympic-size swimming pool for serious swimmer in D11 which is not too far from your place. It's worth to give a try. The water is average.

But my best one (Olympic-size swimming pool) + 2 other smaller ones next to it. The cleanest one in D1. It's Yet Kieu:

I might join you guy if you don't mind to motivate myself.

Cheers!

Yes, I found Yet Kieu to be cleanest compared with a few others I have tried around the city. The only issue is the tight opening hours. The 11-2pm hours is the most quiet time. Let me know if you guys want to organise something.
