The Basics of HK Pools
Hong Kong is known to be hot and humid year round, making a swim an essential way of cooling off! When searching for a pool to dip your toe in, consider Hong Kong Pools; by understanding their basics you may increase your odds of success in winning big!
Hong Kong pools provide something for every taste – be it lap swimming or simply relaxing over a drink – offering something for every age and activity level. From central city locations to tranquil settings far removed from city life. Some pools even provide amazing views of Victoria Harbour’s skyline and skyline views themselves! For families, YMCA Bridges Street Centre provides an excellent option with its leisure pool area equipped with slides suitable for various ages of swimmers.
Not only can you relax under the warm rays of the sun, but you can also indulge in delicious food at nearby restaurants. Many HK pools feature their own food courts where you can grab something to eat before returning back to your lounge chair – or alternatively take a short walk and visit one of many restaurants or bars nearby!
Another way is to book a hotel with a pool. Hong Kong boasts plenty of hotels that feature pools – with some even offering their own waterpark! Hotel Indigo, for instance, features a glass-bottom rooftop pool for an unforgettable swimming experience that is sure to become one of the highlights of your visit to this vibrant city!
Leisure and Cultural Services Department oversees Hong Kong’s public swimming pools. At present there are 44 public pools – 9 on Hong Kong Island, 13 in Kowloon, and 22 in New Territories – and swimming is permitted as long as lifeguards are on duty; however this summer full reopening may be unlikely as only 40 percent of 600 seasonal lifeguards have reported for work so far.
In the event that a pool is not fully operational, public swimming instructors have issued a warning that its inoperation could impede sports development in cities as well as swimmers’ safety. Furthermore, 20 out of 45 public pools reportedly have closed lanes or facilities specifically reserved for swim instruction without giving a valid reason.
Even with these concerns, the government remains committed to reopening city beaches and pools. However, swimmers should note that some beaches remain high-risk zones; as a precautionary measure they should adhere to advice from local law enforcement before heading out to any beach.
