The Penang Chinese Swimming Club (GPS: 5.46325, 100.3045) is a swimming club located at the border of Tanjong Bungah and Tanjong Tokong, Penang. It was founded in 1928 because the then Penang Swimming Club does not allow the local Chinese to be members.
In 1962 the Penang Chinese Swimming Club built the first Olympic-size swimming pool in Penang. The pool is filled with filtered sea water, claimed to increase buoyancy.
Initially opened to the public, the Penang Chinese Swimming Club pool is now exclusively for members and members' friends, who are charged RM5.00. Membership to the Penang Chinese Swimming Club now stands at around RM7,000.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
