Whether you want to do morning laps for your workout or relax and soak in the view, Hong Kong has plenty of fabulous swimming pools. From gorgeous hotel pools with stunning city views to public swimming facilities and even member’s clubs, we have it all here in this pool-filled city.

The city also has an abundance of glistening outdoor pools that look like they’re right on the water. These are especially popular with families and can be found throughout the city, with a few of them featuring spectacular water parks with slides and other aquatic attractions.

Aside from these pools, you can find more in a few of the city’s luxurious resorts and hotels. One of the most notable is the Rosewood’s Asaya Pool, which features a breathtaking view of Victoria Harbour and calming waters. This is the perfect spot to enjoy a refreshing cocktail and take in the beautiful scenery.

There are also a few indoor pools that are open for all to use. One of these is the Kowloon Park Swimming Complex, which was built as part of a larger redevelopment and expansion of the Kowloon Park and opened in 1989. The pool is a modern design, with a translucent insulated tensile membrane roof made of Birdair sister company Shanghai Taiyo Kogyo Corporation (STC). The material was chosen to minimize glare and maintain a consistent color. The pool also uses an 8-mm aerogel blanket, which is twice as thick as standard insulation and has a R-value of 4.90.

In addition to the main swimming pool, there is a diving pool and training pool, two toddler pools with whimsical water installations such as mushroom and tree-shaped fountains, and four waterslides that are said to be some of the fastest in Hong Kong. The pools are all separated by a series of walkways and seating areas, giving you plenty of options to swim, relax, and enjoy the beautiful waterfront surroundings.

While the reopening of sports facilities is encouraging, it is still too early to determine how many of the city’s public beaches and pools will reopen this year. A spokesperson from the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) told Reuters that only about 40 percent of seasonal lifeguards had reported to work, making a full reopening of all pools unlikely this summer. The LCSD has been increasing the salary of seasonal lifeguards and recruiting more on two-year contracts.

The Ma On Shan Swimming Pool is a spacious complex that overlooks the Tolo Harbour. On the side of the pool that faces the sea, there is a large main pool along with spectator stands to accommodate 1,200 people. The other side of the complex has several smaller swimming and teaching pools, as well as a toddler’s pool with four waterslides, including the two longest waterslides in Hong Kong. There is also a small shop selling swimming costumes, floats, and drinks. The pool is also available for rental.
