Public Swimming Pool KL & Selangor

Mother nature needs a chill pill for real. The weather in Malaysia has been scorching hot lately leaving us hoping for rain (when it rains-we want sun, when the sun shines-we want rain). Oftentimes we just feel like soaking or diving right into a pool, enjoying the feel when the cool water flows through the body and replenishing our soul instantly.

However, not many of us have the luxury of owning a pool or a mini jacuzzi in our backyard at home. Fret not, luck is on our side as there are ample public swimming pools in the heart of Kuala Lumpur & Selangor.

When you can’t stand the heat, look no further away than these swimming pools picked out by Happy Hormones Malaysia.

Equipped with two types of pools – open and covered, to keep you warm with the presence of big and swollen sun go for open and if you think ‘No, I can’t handle the sunburns’ dip yourself into the covered pools.

The Olympic sized pools are more than enough to have a swimming race with your buddies and the kids would absolutely love their 2 feet pool that has a slide to glide in happiness. 

Swimmers in proper swimwears only are allowed. Thus, grab your swimsuit and an extra pair of clothes!
