Jalan Besar Swimming Complex
Jalan Besar Swimming Complex is a normal pool facility under ActiveSG, located at 100 Tyrwhitt Road, Singapore 207542. ActiveSG The complex is part of the Jalan Besar Sports Centre, which also houses the sports hall, stadium, and other facilities.
Location & Accessibility of Jalan Besar Swimming Complex
Jalan Besar is centrally located in the Kallang / Lavender area, making it convenient for students and parents across central and eastern Singapore. Public transport access includes nearby bus routes passing along Tyrwhitt Road and Kallang Road. The area is also accessible by MRT via nearby stations (such as Lavender or Bendemeer) with a short walk. Driving access is possible via major roads like Kallang Road and Serangoon Road. Because Jalan Besar is embedded in an urban precinct with schools, residential blocks, eateries, and community amenities, it’s practical for learners and caregivers to combine lessons with errands or commuting.
Operating Hours & Weekly Closures
The complex operates daily except on Tuesdays, when it is closed for maintenance. Its normal hours are 8:00 am to 9:30 pm on open days. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, the competition pool opens early from 6:30 am to 8:00 am for lap swimmers. Outdoor facilities may also be temporarily closed during inclement weather as a safety precaution. These schedules are important for planning consistent lesson times and ensuring minimal disruption.
Pool Facilities at Jalan Besar Swimming Complex
Jalan Besar includes three core aquatic zones: a competition pool, a teaching pool, and a wading pool. ActiveSG Circle+1 The competition pool is designated for lap and stroke training. The teaching pool offers a shallower depth for guided instruction, drills, and technique work. The wading pool is suited for young children or learners building water confidence. Because this is a normal pool (not a feature pool), it does not include slides, wave machines, or lazy rivers.
Why Jalan Besar Complex Suits Structured Swim Lessons
For swim coaching, Jalan Besar’s layout allows clear progression: beginning swimmers can start in the wading pool, move to teaching pool lessons, and eventually train strokes and endurance in the competition pool. The early morning competition pool window supports adult learners before work. The consistent evening hours enable flexible scheduling for working professionals and families. The lack of leisure distractions in a normal pool helps learners focus on technique and progression.
Its central location means reduced commute and potential crossover with students from nearby areas. Moreover, being part of a larger sports centre gives credibility and a stable facility management environment. Guardians or parents can use adjacent sports hall or facilities while lessons run, enhancing convenience.
Practical Considerations & Scheduling Tips
Lessons should avoid scheduling on Tuesdays due to full-day closure. Booking early for evening or weekend slots is wise because central complexes often see high demand. Arranging classes during nonpeak lanes can improve learner experience. Monitoring weather-based closures (for outdoor spaces, if any) ensures backup slots are in place.
Because the competition pool is also set aside at certain times for lap users, coordinating class timings around peak lap usage is beneficial. Maintaining class consistency around closures (e.g. Tuesdays) is key to retention and planning.
Community Context & Observations
Jalan Besar is a community sports precinct with active usage by local residents and students. Its integration with stadium and sports hall means visibility and foot traffic. On review platforms, visitors often comment on its affordability, central location, and basic but clean facilities. Some note that surrounding food options and shops help when waiting for lessons.
Because it is designated a normal pool, it attracts swimmers focused on training rather than purely recreational use, which aligns well with structured swim programs.
Conclusion
Jalan Besar Swimming Complex offers foundational aquatic facilities—competition, teaching, and wading pools—within easy reach of central Singapore. Its consistent schedules, central location, and straightforward design make it a suitable venue for structured swim classes and coaching. For students, families, and coaches seeking dependable access in the city, Jalan Besar is a solid option.
