Reviews:

A great pool for all kinds of aquatic exercise. In addition to the 50m pool there are also other smaller pools. All pools are excellently guarded. It's is very nice to swim outside at night (open until 10 P.M.). After you're done you can have a nice stroll through the park (maybe you even massage your feet on a pebble walk in the park) to Causeway Bay and blend in to the city buzz or enjoy a meal. The stands are open for everyone during opening hours. It's great for location and atmosphere.
If you disagree with this review, click HERE. If we can fit your comments into this section, we will - "different strokes for different folks" is particularly applicable to the swimming community.
