With summer heat quickly approaching, now may be the time to enjoy some refreshing swimming pool time in Hong Kong. Before diving right in however, it would be prudent to review potential drawbacks associated with Hong Kong swimming pools.
Public pools in cities provide an enjoyable way to cool off and exercise, but may not always offer complete safety. Many pools have lane restrictions due to limited lifeguard coverage and don’t always enjoy an excellent reputation for cleanliness.
