Victoria Park Swimming Pool | 维多利亚公园游泳池

Important Notice Please Read

Swimmers Guide is not connected with any of the facilities listed on this site in any way. We cannot tell you the pools’ opening and closing times or when Senior Aerobics classes are held; we cannot tell you about the availability or cost of swimming lessons; we cannot get you discounted admission to swim at any of them; and we cannot help you find your children’s lost goggles or bathing suits.

We can and do try to give you reliable information about the pools, their locations, their admission policies, and their single-visit or casual swimming prices. Where possible, we include hypertext links to the pools’ own official websites and Facebook pages, clickable email addresses, and links to the websites of the clubs and teams that swim there. Look to those resources within each listing for more detailed information.

The data in the site is under continual review and is revised whenever the site’s editor becomes aware of a change, but, with more than 20,000 listings, a complete, periodic review of every listing takes about seven years to complete; in many places, prices will change four or five times before we have a chance to check the pool’s official website again.

For that reason, we ask for your help: If any of the information in the listing is incorrect, out of date, or could be improved, please tell us. There is an "Edit" button on just about every line of every listing, click on the edit button to tell us what needs to be changed. (No, it's not a place for you to ask us questions. What we have in each listing is the latest news we have.)

Also, please consider checking the listings of the pools you regularly use at home or when traveling, as your knowledge may be helpful to someone else who is unfamiliar with the area and visiting for the first time. Just go to the Add a Pool section of the site, read the first page, then fill out the questionnaire.

Facility Reviews

This is an amazing facility - brand new and state of the art. The main, 50-meter pool has a moveable floor - great for lap swimming. The lap lanes are configured the same as the old pool, some reserved for instruction, etc. The multi-purpose pool is warmer than regular pool and also has an adjustable-depth floor; it was set to 1.2-meter depth, when I was there. The new locker room and changing facilities are nice and kept up well. I swam this pool a couple of times at lunch time on weekday afternoons, and it wasn't too crowded (3-4 people per lane).
[October, 2013]
It's a nice facility but, like all Hong Kong public pools, very poor for lap swimming. It's incredibly crowded, especially during the seven-week annual closure of nearby Morrison Hill Indoor Swimming Pool. Only ever two lap lanes, both with incredibly slow 'swimmers', making it impossible even to swim 50m in one go. There are frequent, unscheduled closures due to "vomitus" in pool - two in the last three weeks. The smaller multi-purpose pool is booked most nights by groups, meaning even more crowding in the two lap lanes in the 50m pool. And they allow coaches to train kids in the two lap lanes, making swimming even more impossible. Kickboards are banned, as in all HK pools, so kiss your planned kick set goodbye.
