Toa Payoh Swimming Complex

History of Toa Payoh Swimming Complex

Toa Payoh swimming complex is a pool located in the northern part of the central region of Singapore.

It started its operation in 1973 during the Southeast Asian Peninsular Games. The sports complex consists of a swimming complex, stadium and one sports hall. These facilities were back then used for competition training, leisure swimming and swimming lessons for public uses.

Toa Payoh Swimming Complex has 3 swimming pools in place mainly the wading, training, and teaching pools.

There are few diving platforms in this swimming complex, highlight, however, goes mainly to the 10 meters one.

These diving platforms are uncommon in other swimming complexes. These platforms were used by swimming coaches in Toa Payoh swimming.

It must have driven many 13 to 16 years, old learners, in this swimming complex to some “heart attacks” back then and now.

This swimming complex is a popular training ground for SEA games diver and aspiring little ones in the early days and now.

Toa Payoh started its development during the 1960s. Do you know that they were mostly rental units and most people back then own the flats in Toa Payoh via rental.

The pool is crowded usually during the weekends. During the weekdays, it is filled up with kids and the elderly taking swimming lessons and doing leisure swim. It is generally less crowded after office time from 6-8 pm on weekdays. If you are looking for serenity, you can try doing swim at these hours.

4K challenge was held in this swimming complex in 2018, organized by TMD Sports back then. Float Fit Singapore swimming program can also be found in this old swimming complex.
