As Hong Kong is often subject to high temperatures, swimming can be an ideal way to stay cool – and there are numerous public pools across the city from which to choose. Swimming can be one of the most enjoyable and fulfilling exercises you can do, while it also brings numerous health benefits. Swimming has many advantages for both body and mind alike, from relieving stress to increasing energy levels – this activity should definitely be part of everyone’s exercise regime! So whether you’re searching for an enjoyable hobby or wanting to improve your wellbeing, check out Hongkong pools! Kwun Tong complex offers more than just its main pool; their outdoor area features not only two more swimming pools but also teaching pools – and plenty of post-swim activities and sunbathing space! Perfect for the whole family. Easy access via Choi Hung or Diamond Hill MTR stations on the green Kwun Tong line or bus routes (such as bus 116 from Causeway Bay which takes only 20 minutes and stops directly opposite). Victoria Harbour makes for an idyllic setting to visit. This complex designed by Terry Farrell and Partners took eight years to come into being, but the result is stunning: modern building that looks like an alien spaceship! The pool itself spans 50 metres with various pools such as 25-meter training pool and leisure pool available; plus an outer pool area offering seating by the water’s edge with access to an on-site bar offering drinks! On the 76th floor of the W Hotel is an irresistibly inviting rooftop pool – it provides stunning views of Hong Kong while offering peace and serenity for any swimmer. After taking a refreshing dip, unwind in its jacuzzi or relax with a cocktail on its deckchairs – all must visit! This luxury hotel’s pool is widely considered to be the highest rooftop pool in the world. Not only does it provide breathtaking views of Victoria Harbour, but there is also a smaller jacuzzi pool and rooftop bar/restaurant on offer here – providing the ideal place for taking advantage of summer sunshine while swimming with an oceanic backdrop! Disabled visitors, senior citizens over 60, children aged 3-13 and full-time students can all take advantage of discounted admission prices. Otherwise, admission costs HK$17 during weekdays and HK$19 on weekends; check their website for opening hours as well as their helpful map that locates the pool.
