I'm thinking swimming might be a good way to get my body in motion and yet stay cool in the process. Yesterday I spent the morning investigating the 3 swimming pools nearest my apartment. The one pictured above seemed the most relaxed atmosphere, but as a private club membership fees are high and the charge for each visit is steep. There are designated lap swim hours and free swim hours which make it less convenient for spur-of-the-moment swims. One advantage in my eyes is that this pool uses a salt water purification system which keeps the water fresh and clean without chemicals.
My second pool visit was to the 700 Year Sports Complex. It is a huge grounds with many sport facilities built as Chiang Mai's 700 year anniversary and for the 1995 South East Asia Games. It has an Olympic size pool and separate diving pool. It is very inexpensive for annual membership, but lacks shower facilities and free lockers. Open 8 AM -8 PM every day makes it ideal for anytime lap or free swims. The pool is underused, so there are never more than a few people there. See video and more about the complex here.
