Hong Kong Pools – Creating a Safe, Comfortable and Secure Environment
Pools provide a wonderful way to unwind and unwind, but make sure you have an effective safety plan in place when planning on having one. That means having a fence that keeps children and pets out, as well as an alarm system. In many cities and townships minimum height requirements exist for fences – most professional pool builders can assist you with creating an atmosphere that meets these local guidelines while remaining safe, comfortable, and secure.
Many people mistakenly believe that Hong Kong pools are prohibitively costly, but the reality is far different. Due to so many variables involved, it’s hard to pinpoint an exact figure; most installations fall between $9,000 and $15,000. Additional features like rock waterfalls or custom decking may add significantly to costs, but your Premier builder will work closely with you in designing a space tailored specifically to your budget.
Most swimming pools will include a fence to keep children and pets out, along with gates and alarm systems to add further protection. Most homeowners must also install a safety cover in order to protect swimmers from falling or being thrown into the water; costs for these covers can vary significantly, yet properly-installed safety covers will save money both in utility costs and damage repairs.
While most pools are indoor, a select few outdoor ones exist and are commonly located near parks or sports facilities. Outdoor pools are particularly popular with families, often offering slides and other water activities for entertainment. Some outdoor pools even come equipped with heating technology to keep swimmers warm in wintertime.
Hong Kong’s biggest outdoor pool is an Olympic-sized 50m pool in Wan Chai. A favorite spot for swimming competitions and often overcrowded, this facility is open from early morning until late afternoon and free for use by residents of Hong Kong.
Tsuen Wan Indoor Complex Pool is another highly popular public pool, boasting two pools, two teaching pools, a diving pool and toddler pools in one massive facility. Popular with locals during the summer season especially!
Hotel Indigo Hong Kong’s rooftop pool provides an unforgettable swimming experience, featuring a glass bottom and 144 LED screens displaying soothing illustrations of tree canopies, coral reefs and other scenes from nature. Part of its WET deck – known for stylish yet sometimes wild pool parties in summer – this pool also has an infinity edge to complete the experience.
Sun Yat Sen Memorial Park in Sai Ying Pun is another highly popular indoor complex, as its large swimming pool features lounger seating. Additionally, this venue serves as an excellent venue for competitive swimming competitions attracting swimmers from mainland China who come for its affordable prices and clear water quality; though at times overcrowded the pool provides some of the city’s best views.
