The Closure of HK Pools

As the summer heat begins to wane Hong Kong’s public pools once again become an inviting place to cool off. But a visit to one of these pools soon exposes the heavy hand that is still being exercised by the government.

The Leisure and Cultural Services Department has issued a new advisory to all swimming pool users that the use of the facility is at the user’s own risk. The advice says that swimmers should be aware of the risk of infection, including from contaminated water. It also recommends that users should take showers and wash their hands thoroughly after entering and exiting the pool. It also asks swimmers not to enter the pool area if they are wearing wetsuits.

Swimmers are also advised to use the footbath and shower bath provided in the changing room, and not to walk around the pool deck area barefoot. They should also wear a waterproof sunhat and apply sunscreen before they enter the pool. It is also advisable to keep a towel with them to dry off after swimming.

Swimming is one of the most popular sports in Hong Kong. It is also a key training tool for elite swimmers, who make up the bulk of the city’s Olympians and world champions. With the closure of swimming pools, it will seriously affect the city’s competitive and recreational swimmers.

In addition, swimming is a good form of exercise and can help people lose weight and improve their overall health. It can also reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure. It is a great way to relax and unwind, as well as meet like-minded friends.

Besides, swimming can improve your flexibility, stamina and endurance. It can also improve your mental alertness and boost your immune system. In fact, it can even help you deal with stress and depression. In addition, it can improve your posture and balance.

This summer, Hong Kong’s public swimming pools are reopening after undergoing a thorough disinfection and cleaning. The reopening will help to alleviate the city’s air pollution problems. It will also benefit the local community, and it is expected to be welcomed by many people.
