Swimming in Laguna?

Posted by karlaredor on March 24th, 2006 at Laguna, Summer Hot Spots, Travel Tips

I had a client call at Laguna earlier and I can already feel the heat of summer already especially everytime the sign “Private Pool” was flashed on us. On the official website of the local government of Laguna, I’ve found some useful information for the soon-to-be chlorinated citizens and tourists alike.

The said site come up with a list of resorts accredited by the Department of Tourism and by the local government units in Laguna. However, the list coming from DOT that is posted on the said website is outdated by almost 5 years. On the other list provided, only a few resorts have contact numbers listed on them. Still, the best way to enjoy swimming there is to rent a house with a private pool.

However, you should do that one month ahead before the actual day since this is the peak season and you should expect that everyone wants to have a taste of chlorine. If staying in a swimming pool bores you, try shooting the rapids at Pagsanjan Falls or try other activities like the ones listed here.

there are a number of public pools in calamba and los banos where the water come from natural springs and continuously flow out of the pool… minimal chorine, if at all, is used… those are the types of resorts these two cities firsrt became famous for… and during summer, even public pools may require reservations…

Hi,
I would like to know more about the laguna swimming parks. I would like to know how to get there from Zambales. what is the ongoing rate of admission if any?
I am also interested in pagsanjan falls? how long is the drive?

thank you,

hi..
as for me.. usual driving hours to pagsanjan should take about around 2 hours and i came from bicutan toll gate which is already from the south
thus, if you’re coming from zambales.. it would take you about 4 hours (could be less or could be more depending on the traffic once you reach Manila)

Coming from Balintawak exit, go to EDSA (going south)
then go to the South Luzon Expressway
Then exit at Calamba and follow the provincial road passing Los Baños, Bay, Victoria, Pila, Sta. Cruz and finally Pagsanjan.
