bluerunner Posted November 21, 2023 Report Share Posted November 21, 2023 On 11/19/2023 at 8:11 PM, MikeC said: Oh this is bad…. Aren’t public swimming pools for the public? All the hours avail to working adults appear to be taken up by private groups… Exactly. It happens even on weekend where the public pools are all packed. I can understand swim instructors need to make a living but there should be some rules and regulations of blocking out the pools, right? I feel better actions can be taken to mitigate pool closure.

axefactor Posted April 23 Report Share Posted April 23 Heard from a friend of mine that there's a possibility that Kallang pool may be the next one to be permanently closed. When that would happen is still unknown. If that happens before the new Toa Payoh Sports Hub is opened, then the other pools will even be more crowded. Right now it's insanely packed at Geylang East pool as they close half the competition pool at 7pm for waterpolo training and on some days the entire competition pool can't be used as the other half is also allocated to those people doing water aerobics. It's crazy that they close the other half for just 10 aunties doing water aerobics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should at least wait for TPY Sports Hub to be up and running before closing down Kallang pool. Currently, that pool, together with Katong and Geylang East pools are absorbing the loads from old TPY. Kallang Basin pool is totally useless to the public. Katong and Geylang East pools are packed to the brim, at times overflow. TPY is not going to be ready in the next 6-7 years (est. 2031?)
