From a wave pool to a children’s playground, a competition pool and even a smaller pool for little ones, Choa Chu Kang Swimming Complex has them all! If you’re planning for a family trip, there’ll be things to do for everyone!

The best part? If you’re someone that enjoys relaxing, there’s a mini lazy river for you to float around in, and even a spa pool that’s great for water jet massages!

2. Jurong East Swimming Complex

For all Westies, Jurong East Swimming Complex is one of the more popular public swimming pools in Singapore, and for good reason. Fully equipped with many facilities and attractions, it’s second only to the various established water parks in Singapore! It’s also a (significantly) cheaper alternative to the pricier water parks!!

You can look forward to three huge slides that’ll get your adrenaline pumping, a decently long lazy river for you to float along, and even a huge wave pool! Two of the slides require a large float (which makes the ride even more thrilling), that are available for rent for a small fee. The floats are also great for chilling on as you drift along the lazy river or fight the currents in the wave pool!

There is also a children’s play area for the little ones, that’ll be the highlight of their day!

Pro Tip: After putting your bags in the locker, ensure you have some spare cash to rent the floats!
