All the hours avail to working adults appear to be taken up by private groups… Exactly. It happens even on weekend where the public pools are all packed. I can understand swim instructors need to make a living but there should be some rules and regulations of blocking out the pools, right? I feel better actions can be taken to mitigate pool closure.

repressednerd Posted January 13, 2024 Posted January 13, 2024 Went to Kallang Basin sometime in the last quarter and noticed that only half of the competition pool is available for general public so you don't get to swim the entire full length of the pool anymore. Quote
egal Posted January 13, 2024 Posted January 13, 2024 that is really crap i think only delta and seranggon do not do that? hougang too Quote

Quite a number of pools closed for rejuvenation and reno lately yeah. Quote
axefactor Posted April 23, 2024 Posted April 23, 2024 Heard from a friend of mine that there's a possibility that Kallang pool may be the next one to be permanently closed. When that would happen is still unknown. If that happens before the new Toa Payoh Sports Hub is opened, then the other pools will even be more crowded. Right now it's insanely packed at Geylang East pool as they close half the competition pool at 7pm for waterpolo training and on some days the entire competition pool can't be used as the other half is also allocated to those people doing water aerobics. It's crazy that they close the other half for just 10 aunties doing water aerobics. Quote

They should at least wait for TPY Sports Hub to be up and running before closing down Kallang pool. Currently, that pool, together with Katong and Geylang East pools are absorbing the loads from old TPY. Kallang Basin pool is totally useless to the public. Katong and Geylang East pools are packed to the brim, at times overflow. TPY is not going to be ready in the next 6-7 years (est. 2031?)

egal Posted May 5, 2024 Posted May 5, 2024 somehow i have the feeling they will close kallang too; the newish gym is hardly frequented i also saw the play / kids outdoor water shower in delta was not in use Quote
egal Posted May 11, 2024 Posted May 11, 2024 so was it very crowded on the 10 may free pool day Quote
