Public Swimming Pool KL & Selangor: Take A Dip & Work Those Arms At These Public Pools

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.

1. Chin Woo Stadium

Overlooking Chinatown which is a deeply immersed heritage and oriental culture spot, Chin Woo Stadium is one of the well-known public swimming pool in Kuala Lumpur. The crystal clear pools are surrounded by beautiful flowers and trees, creating a soothing ambience. 

They also offer basic swimming training courses and live-saving training classes for the patrons. Public transportations are just minutes away (walking distance) from the stadium – say no more!

Lrt Station which is a stone’s thrown away from the centre is one of the alternatives to get there besides driving (they have plenty of parking spots too). During tournaments, the pool will be closed for the public, however, you can indulge in the facilities on other days.

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!

Admission rates: From RM 2.00

Address:  Kuadron AB, Shah Alam Stadium, Section 13, Shah Alam.
