Hong Kong is an extraordinary metropolis renowned for its towering skyscrapers, vibrant culture and picturesque natural landscapes – yet another treasured local feature is public swimming pools – not simply places for leisure swimming but hubs of community activity that provide relief from Hong Kong’s oppressive summer heat and promote healthier lifestyles among residents.

Beautiful hotel pools are one thing, but those offering breathtaking city skyline views and tranquil waters take it a step further. So whether it’s time to take a dip with views of Hongkong’s skyline or relax on its beaches – these exquisite Hongkong pools will ensure that your staycation will remain memorable!

Kerry Hotel in Hung Hom offers a stunning rooftop pool experience at their Asaya Pool. This 25 meter-long infinity pool gives visitors an unrivaled view of Victoria Harbour’s placid waters while swimming a few laps or simply lounging, then treat yourself to refreshments from Red Sugar Terrace Bar nearby – ideal if you want to watch as the sun slowly sets below the horizon!

Kowloon Park Swimming Pool in Tsim Sha Tsui is an ideal destination for indoor swimmers in need of some shade and relaxation, offering many facilities such as diving pool, leisure pool and training pool for international swim events. Plus, with its well-maintained facility and friendly staff, it makes an excellent place to beat the heat while unwinding in style!

Though New York City boasts multiple pools, only 20% of elderly citizens are capable of swimming despite many pool offerings. Howard Fung from Stanford Swim School believes only 20% are capable of doing so and attributes this low percentage to factors including lack of interest in sport, academic pressures and the recent ferry collision which killed 39 people.

However, Hong Kong is taking steps to combat this trend by emphasizing the benefits of swimming. Offering free lessons for residents as well as exploring plans to construct additional public pools are among the measures being implemented; hopefully these steps will encourage more residents to embrace this form of exercise and help reduce water-related accidents in Hong Kong.
