Swimming pools are a great way to cool down and burn off energy, especially if you have kids. There are many public swimming pools in Hong Kong, and some even have slides! If you are considering moving to a newer larger development, look for one that has swimming pool facilities. This is usually a major selling point for people with children. You can also find public pools in some smaller single-tower developments. However, they are often too small for laps and are more fun for splashing around and meeting other kids.
Most of the public pools in Hong Kong are run by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD). LCSD is responsible for all public sports, entertainment and cultural activities, including swimming and other water recreations. The public swimming pools are very well maintained, but there are some concerns about the water quality in some of them. This is because some sludge from the toilets can end up in the pool. The sludge can then be ingested by swimmers, and it may cause diarrhea and other illnesses.
In an effort to improve the water quality, LCSD has a stricter cleaning schedule and has installed filters in some of its public pools. In addition, sludge from the toilets is now removed regularly. In the past, some swimmers complained of diarrhea after visiting certain pools. This problem was partly due to a large number of mainland Chinese tourists visiting the city for summer vacations and spending much of their time swimming in the public pools.
Besides the clean and safe water, Hong Kong pools are affordable and well-equipped with slides, water toys, etc. The average cost of a day-pass to the swimming pool is about HK$100, which is cheaper than the price of a movie ticket in a theater. The public swimming pools are open all year round, but some of them close on Mondays and Fridays, while others have different operating hours during the winter months.
The most popular public pools in the city are the Tung Chung, Olympic and Kweilin pools. The pool at Tung Chung is unique in that it resembles a seashell, and the materials used enhance the ventilation of the building. Another interesting pool is the Bride’s Pool waterfall, a series of pools and waterfalls on a scenic hike near Tai O.
Nearly half of the city’s pools plan to close lanes or facilities reserved for swimming instruction this summer due to staff shortage, a union has warned. The move will affect swimming classes for students, and it will also impact the industry’s development, the union said.
