The Anchorvale Community Club and Sports Recreational Centre was finally opened. We visited the swimming pools on Saturday. We were very impressed with the place. In fact I thought it was more like a water funworld with slides and sprays and bubble pools suitable for the little ones. The facilities were pretty comprehensive and family friendly. There were ramps for prams / wheelchairs, children's toilet/shower rooms, baby's nappy changing area and also a room for nursing mommies. The charges were reasonably cheap - $2 for adult and $1 for children (weekends). The 2 little girls were very excited because once again, they could play with each other :)
However, when we were about to enter the pool, Phoebe's fear revealled. She was afraid of swimming pools because when she was about 14 months old, we made a mistake by bringing her to the pool, for the first time, after a heavy shower. Hence, the water was very cold and there was breeze. She screamed when we carried her into the water and was chattering in cold. From then on, she never wants to be near the pool again.
I was very thankful to my neighbours. They tried to coax Phoebe into the water and with their encouragement, Phoebe finally entered into the water. After a while, she relaxed and was able to enjoy herself. Yeah!! Phoebe has finally overcome her fear! Victory is on our side! :) We will definitely visit this place again!
Next saturday is Singapore's National Day. We have made a date with our neighbours to visit the Jacob Ballas Children's Garden in Botanic Garden. Wait for our pictures !! :)

Hi,
after reading your post, I went there with my hubby for a swim on both Tuesday and Wednesday! The charges during weekdays is only $1.50 per adult, quite cheap. Our swim at the 2 big pools was relaxing and enjoyable as there is very few people swimming there during that time. We have lots of swimming space! WIll probably go there to swim regularly during weekdays. I like the swimming pool with shelter where I dont have to worry about getting tanned by the sun. :)
Yup! I like the spaciousness too :)
