Guest lonelywombat Posted April 4, 2017 Posted April 4, 2017 In his last visit my friend who has a shoulder injury, was seeking on going treatment. There was confusion with the title physiotherapists. I checked google and that title is used in the US and UK. There is no need for the practioner to be gay. He also needs access to an Olympic size pool. However any advise would be appreciated Quote
kokopelli Posted April 4, 2017 Posted April 4, 2017 He also needs access to an Olympic size pool. He needs access or wants access to an Olympic size pool? Quote
PeterRS Posted April 5, 2017 Posted April 5, 2017 Just out of curiosity why an Olympic size pool? Cant he do turns at each end? kokopelli 1 Quote
ChristianPFC Posted April 5, 2017 Posted April 5, 2017 An Olympic-size swimming pool is the type of swimming pool used in the Olympic Games, where the race course is 50 metres (164.0 ft) in length. This is typically referred to as "long course", distinguishing it from "short course" which applies to competitions in pools that are 25 metres (82.0 ft) in length. (Wikipedia) The pool at Pattaya park is 25x12.5 m (measured on google satellite view). I doubt there is an olympic size pool in Pattaya. I guess the pool at Ramkhamhaeng University (National Sports Authority) is olympic (indoor swimming pool under roof, can't measure pool size on satellite view, but I was in several times). Quote

Travellerdave Posted April 7, 2017 Posted April 7, 2017 I suppose swimming might be good therapy, but this would not require a very large pool. I have assumed that Olympic size is 50 metres in length. As far as I know there are none of these in Pattaya and maybe none in the whole of Thailand. In Pattaya there are good size pools at the Tony Gym on Second Road and on the roof of the Mike Department Store, which you can use on payment of a small charge. Quote
