Geylang East Swimming Complex
Geylang East Swimming Complex is located at 601 Aljunied Avenue 1, Singapore 389862, managed under the ActiveSG network. ActiveSG It is classified as a normal pool, meaning it does not offer slides or wave pools. The public hours run daily except Monday (closed for maintenance), from 8:00 am to 9:30 pm. On Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, the competition pool opens early from 6:30 am to 8:00 am.
Location & Accessibility of Geylang East Swimming Complex
Geylang East sits in the heart of the central / eastern precinct, making it ideally reachable from many parts of the city. Public transport options include buses—numbers such as 24, 28, 43, 70, 76, 80, 135, 154 serve stops near Aljunied Avenue 1. Depending on your start point, you may also alight at Paya Lebar MRT (EW8/CC9) and proceed on foot. For drivers, the location is reachable via PIE and feeder roads like Geylang East Central and Aljunied Avenue 1. Because the complex is embedded in a dense residential and commercial district, amenities nearby—cafes, shops, transport nodes—help make commuting manageable and comfortable for learners and guardians alike.
Facilities at Geylang East Swimming Complex
The complex provides three main aquatic zones: a competition pool, a teaching pool, and a wading pool. These satisfy a typical progression path: beginners can start in the wading pool, build skills in the teaching pool, and graduate into stroke development in the competition pool. As a normal pool, it lacks water slides, wave machines or other leisure water features, which simplifies operations and reduces distractions during lessons.
Operating Hours & Closures
As noted, the complex is open daily except Monday, from 8:00 am to 9:30 pm. The competition pool offers a special early slot on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays between 6:30 am and 8:00 am. On Mondays, the complex is closed for the full day except when Monday is a public holiday, in which case it operates from 8:00 am to 9:30 pm. Outdoor areas may be shut temporarily during inclement weather for safety. These scheduling parameters help in planning lesson times and avoiding cancellations.
Pricing & Admission
Admission to Geylang East follows the ActiveSG standard rates for a normal pool. For Singapore citizens or permanent residents, adult weekday rates are S$1.00, weekends S$1.30; children and seniors pay S$0.50 on weekdays and S$0.60 on weekends. Foreign visitor rates are roughly S$1.30 weekdays and S$1.70 weekends. The complex uses the MyActiveSG+ system for bookings and payments as of August 2024. Note that ActiveSG or SG60 credits can be used for pool entry and swim pass purchases, but not for paying for lessons.
Why Geylang East Works for Structured Swim Lessons
For HydroSplash or any swim school, Geylang East is a strong candidate. Its location in the central/east region yields good catchment among residential and working populations. The three-pool layout supports staged learning: beginners in wading, intermediate in teaching, advanced in the competition pool. The early morning lap window allows scheduling for working adults who prefer before-work sessions. The moderate pricing ensures that repeat lessons are financially viable for families. The simplified, normal pool design aids in maintaining focus on skill development rather than entertainment elements.
Community & Surrounding Context
Geylang East lies in a dense residential area with many amenities around. This means guardians or parents waiting during lessons can access nearby shops, cafés or public transport without straying too far. Because the complex carries a central address, it benefits from visibility and public foot traffic, which helps when promoting swimming classes. Some swim providers already use Geylang East as a venue for both adult and child classes, showing confidence in its infrastructure.
Practical Considerations & Scheduling Tips
Because the pool closes on Mondays, lessons should not be scheduled on that day unless it’s a public holiday. Peak hours (especially evenings and weekends) may see heavy lane usage or class bookings, so reserving slots early is key. The early competition-pool window from 6:30 am to 8:00 am is ideal for early risers, but capacity may be limited. Also, weather impacts or maintenance may occasionally affect outdoor areas—a contingency plan or alternate slot is wise.
Conclusion
Geylang East Swimming Complex offers a reliable, well-situated facility with essential pool types, moderate pricing, and accessible hours. Its structure supports swim programs from beginner to intermediate levels without distractions. For learners and coaches looking for a central, structured venue, it fits well within HydroSplash’s philosophy of clarity, progression, and accessibility.
