When the mercury rises, Hong Kong residents hit the water for a swim to cool off. We’re lucky to have 44 public swimming pools, many with fun features like kiddie slides, making it easy to cool down with the kids. And they’re usually as cheap as chips, too.
The newest addition to the list of hk pools is found at the ICC, which opened its doors in March. Perched on the 118th floor of the building, the pool is surrounded by bottom-to-ceiling windows that give breathtaking views over Victoria Harbour and pretty much all of Hong Kong Island. But it’s not just about the view – the interior also features a mirrored ceiling and LED wall display that creates really cool illusions.
Whether you’re a local or just visiting, this rooftop pool will leave you speechless. Usually reserved for hotel guests, it’s open to the public during the summer and for special events in the evenings. Deckchairs for sunbathing, cocktails on the go and high-speed internet access ensure that swimmers don’t get bored.
This fab family-friendly pool in Kwun Tong is perfect for preschoolers, kindergarteners and little swimmers up to 10 years old. It has an outdoor training pool for the young ones, a leisure pool and water slides, plus floating mini aquatic animals to sit on and water-squirting dolphins and sharks. The indoor pool is pretty cool too, with a pirate ship and indoor fountain.
There are a number of public pools in the vicinity, but this one in Kwun Tong is particularly child-friendly. The Jordan Valley pool has lots of small slides, a fountain and animals to climb on – great for keeping the little ones entertained. It’s closed for cleaning on Tuesdays.
With gorgeous skyline views and incredible facilities, Kowloon Park’s pool is a fantastic option for adults and families alike. They have three outdoor leisure pools, a diving pool and teaching pool, as well as an indoor main pool and secondary Olympic pool. Plus, they’re heated during the winter!
Swimming is a great form of exercise. In addition to burning calories, it reduces stress, increases energy levels and can even improve mental health. A recent study found that people who swam just three times a week felt genuinely more energized than those who didn’t. It’s not hard to see why so many HK residents are crazy for this fun activity.
