Penang Chinese Swimming Club

Penang Chinese Swimming Club (17 January 2017)


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.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
