Extra note : all Swimming pools listed here are open for the public and charges are from RM2- RM3 only. Swimming attire applicable. All universities pools require swimming caps but at Uniten only swimming cap are available for rental. Swim hours may differ but this is the latest that I’ve checked/experience.(I’ve only not tried MMU pool since when I posted this it was just open). Any updates or correction are welcomed.

(disclaimer – DATES were last checked at pusat sukan Universiti Malaya on december 2010.)

how to get to University Malaya (UM) ?

at the guard house or just ask any cute students for swimmingpool @ pusat sukan/sport centre and I’m sure he will gladly help you. Basically it’s located opposite student residence 11 which is a 4story apartment style. Pool is quite during mornings. Visitors are not allowed to shower naked in the showers. I only find this sign in UM compared to other places but hey this is Eastern/south east culture so try to respect the locals ;)
