At first glance, Hong Kong may seem to be an island surrounded by water; yet many Hong Kongers can’t swim. Of those that can, few pools rival those found at hotels and other luxury spaces in terms of sheer aesthetic appeal. From glass-bottomed pools with stunning skyline views to those offering unique pool experiences – here are some of Hong Kong’s finest pool experiences.

No matter your style of swimming or relaxation, Hong Kong pools will take your summer vacation to new heights. At Four Seasons Hotel in Victoria Harbour is an infinity pool known for its breathtaking view over Victoria Harbour and Hong Kong Island – open only to hotel guests but staycation packages often include access to its gym and pool as part of their offerings.

Although it’s situated outside of most city centre locations, this modern pool will surely impress. Situated on the 29th floor of Hotel Indigo and made entirely from glass, it makes this pool one of the most Instagrammable Hong Kong pools around – and provides the ideal place for sunbathing on your day off!

Hotel Indigo’s rooftop pool stands out from others in the city for several reasons, but most notably for its prime location: built into the side of its building overlooking Victoria Harbor, making it an ideal spot for lounging poolside or having lunch al fresco.

Hong Kong landmark The rooftop pool at this Hong Kong landmark is one of the highest in the world and an essential stop when visiting. The design of its swimming pool is truly exceptional: featuring a circular design with retractable roof hidden beneath the main building; there’s also a bar and loungers from which you can admire its stunning view.

The pool at this hotel is only open to guests staying there, but if you’re searching for an alternative to overcrowded public swimming pools, this could be your perfect spot. With ample seating space and restaurant and bar nearby, getting here couldn’t be simpler with Klook making booking packages quick and simple – leaving more time for relaxing and having fun during your getaway!

Sydney boasts some fantastic spots to take a dip, from ocean pools bustling with serious lap swimmers to peaceful harbour-front baths packed with relaxed sunbathers. From the sleek new Ian Thorpe Aquatic Centre in its west to Victoria Park Pool’s nostalgic charm in its inner west – here are 10 of Sydney’s best swimming pools!

Dawn Fraser Baths in Cremorne Point is one of Sydney’s oldest swimming pools and an exquisite harbour spot, not to be outdone by Bondi or North Sydney for stunning harbourside scenery. Comprised of Victorian-era wooden pavilions surrounded by white picket fences, its water remains crystal clear all year long.

Open from Memorial Day until two weeks before Labor Day, Sydney’s massive community pool is a favorite attraction. Boasting designated areas for toddlers as well as an impressive 295 foot-long speed and spiral slide, this venue caters to people of all ages. There’s even an ample picnic area and fully trained staff comprised of one manager, two assistant managers, and 25 life guards!

The YWCA provides swimming lessons and water activities to women and girls of all ages in its free-entry facility, with swimming lessons tailored specifically for each age. As a non-profit organization helping women reach their full potential through education, training and advocacy services such as water safety programs designed to teach young children from kindergarten through high school how to stay safe around water environments.

As opposed to typical city pools, this privately owned one is run under a public-private partnership model. Money from private sources contributes financially while the City provides services like lifeguarding, maintenance, and cleaning – the aim is to make swimming and aquatic activities more accessible while increasing participation rates.

New research indicates that pool ownership may reduce the risk of drowning for some individuals with disabilities, yet could also have other negative consequences. The authors of the study encourage governments to use these findings as part of improving policy and practice by collecting more data about ownership rates, benefits and costs related to ownership for people with disabilities.

As temperatures heat up, Sydneyites are enjoying one of their favourite summer pastimes: swimming at one of Sydney’s iconic ocean pools. Some are currently undergoing major refurbishments while others face uncertain futures – something Gary Nunn outlines as representative of an entrenched pattern within our city of directing public benefits toward those already wealthy.
