There are public ones, rooftop pools (with stunning city views), and even the occasional pool inside a member’s club.

Whether you want to take your workout to the next level or just soak up some sun, these hongkong pools are worth checking out. From sleek indoor pools to awe-inducing rooftop views, these spots are sure to help you kickstart your summer in style.

During the recent worker’s strike, some LCSD swimming pools closed as they struggled to find enough staff to keep them running smoothly. Some even had to shut down the toddler pools, which were contaminated by vomit and feces from mainland Chinese swimmers.
Despite the difficulties, a few of these pools were able to stay open thanks to a team of volunteers. And while some pools are still struggling to find lifeguards, there’s no better time than now to go splashing around in the water and soaking up all that sun!
