Let’s go swimming
One of UPLB students’ best kept secrets is probably Imaculada (or is is Immaculate/Imaculata?) swimming pool in Bayan. Most swimming enthusiasts would know about it, especially if you don’t like to get sunburned swimming at Baker Hall or when the Botanical Garden pool is close (which is probably the case most times of the year). I went swimming here with my dorm mates for many a night and a few years back, my blockmates had a reunion here. They’ve undergone several changes already, new roofing for the pool, a landscaped garden and new benches, and clean shower stalls! The water is warm as well, but not too hot like other pools. Entrance fee is only 40 pesos and best of all, it is not so crowded like other public swimming pools.
There are also several tables where you can place your things while swimming or for eating. Outside are a few cottages where you can have a barbecue.
Perfect for a weekend bonding with room mates or blockmates!
Stumble It!

I miss this place. It’s own by the Eyalas I think.

Where exactly is this place? I’ve been studying in elbi for three years and this is the first time I’ve heard of this place

It’s in Bayan, the last street on your right. Go down the end of the street and on your left is the swimming pool. It’s a covered pool and it looks like a house outside.
