I think your costume would keep snagging on the skeletons of disgraced corporate execs.
Isn't there a pool at the Hilton hotel? |

I took a little dip in the Han when I first got there. Only to my waist near those steps that go down into it near the Mapo station. I didn��t swim or anything though. It was pretty opaque.
There were pools at two junior high schools in that area where you could pay 1 or 2 thousand won to swim with about 50 slow people per lane for a few hours. I think lots of schools have pools. Maybe? |

I would love to find a reasonably priced lane swim anywhere within 5 metro stops of MokDong.
Can anybody help? |

There's a reasonably decent swimming pool pretty much right next to Sillim station... giving directions is pretty tricky, but if you know where the "river" is (you can see it on the area maps in the subway station) then it's on the edge of that, at the top of the wee street of hostess bars.
The building is massive, is called "(something) Sportex" and has a giant bowling pin on the top. |

I find it difficult to believe that what we are talking about is one of the biggest cities in the world and you're looking for a pool.

There is an indoor pool in Mokdong, very close to Carrefour.
You exit the Carrefour car park to the right, of course, and about 50 metres on there is a T-junction. The pool building is facing you.
I haven't been myself but would love to know what it's like ... |

My girlfriend and some other friends go swimming at a community center here in Hongdae. They have a large pool there with the occasional free swimming hours.

I would love to go swimming, as I live really close to the olympic swimming pool, but I have two problems. No 1 I had blonde highlights and I'm a little worried about the green tinge. Anyone got any tips about how to avoid this.
Number two I seem to have misplaced the bottom part of my swimming suit. Do you think wearing board shorts would be cool? |
