Hong Kong summers can be brutal. From blazing sun to insufferable humidity, it can leave you drenched from head to toe in sweat the second you step outside your door. But, the good news is that there are plenty of ways to stay cool – from visiting cosy cafes and restaurants to trying out new activities. Another way to cool down is by swimming at one of the city’s many amazing hk pools.

Whether you’re looking to relax and unwind or swim laps, these stunning swimming pools boast iconic views that will make your summer Instagram-worthy. And, if you’re feeling extra indulgent, you can even lounge by the pool while sipping cocktails and nibbling on snacks.

With its gorgeous view of Kowloon Park and the skyline, this public swimming pool is perfect for anyone who wants to take a dip in style. The pool also has an indoor and outdoor leisure pool, along with a training and diving pool for those who want to practice their water skills.

This is one of the most popular pools in Hong Kong, and it’s no wonder why – it offers something for everyone! There’s a main pool, a teaching pool, and a leisure pool that’s great for swimming laps, as well as a toddlers’ pool where kids can splash around and have fun. Plus, the outdoor kid lagoon is filled with water features and sprinklers to keep little ones entertained.

One of the best things about the Pao Yue Kong Swimming Pool is that it’s super spacious and divided into two levels, so there’s a pool for every swimmer. Swimmers can practise their dives in the diving pool, practice their laps in the swimming pool, or let their children have a blast in the outdoor kid lagoon with its range of interactive facilities like an aqua tunnel, water shooters, and slides. The pool bar is also a great spot to chill out and get your fill of cocktails and snacks.
