Jurong East Swimming Complex: Cheap good fun

We came on a Sunday and it was very crowded since it was the weekend. However, it was still very good fun and a nice way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

The swimming complex consist of a normal swimming pool, a Jacuzzi, three long slides, a lazy river and a wave pool. We did not manage to rent a float at first and only managed to get one awhile later. It was so much more fun with the float!

We could play with the two longer slides (the blue and pink ones) with the float. Only the yellow slide, which is the shortest, is open to those without floats. I have to say it was quite tiring to climb all the way up for the two longer slides but it was definitely very good fun.

The float also made bobbing along in the lazy river much more fun! We could simply lie back on the float and allow the currents to push the float along in the lazy river. After bobbing along for awhile in the lazy river, the waves started in the wave pool so we headed there. The waves start periodically but we have no idea when they will come so you just have to keep a look out for the waves and head into the wave pool when they start. Lie back on the float, peddle out into the wave pool and just allow the waves to carry you along. The waves were quite strong at one point and we were (literally) struggling to stay afloat because our float just kept drifting into the deeper end. 

We ended the swimming session in the Jacuzzi. It was a great day out but the next time I'm coming here on a weekday to avoid the huge crowds!

To get there, take the MRT to Chinese Garden, exit from the station and cross the overhead bridge. After crossing the bridge, walk straight along the row of HDB shops. You would pass by some steamboat restaurants. When you reach the corner with a pet shop, turn right and you should be able to see the swimming complex across the road.
