An East-Side Pool Since 1978
Geylang East Swimming Complex opened in August 1978 as part of the Geylang East neighbourhood's recreational facilities. It was built to serve the growing population in the Aljunied, Geylang and Paya Lebar areas during a period of rapid public housing expansion.
The complex sits on a compact site along Aljunied Avenue 1, just a short walk from Paya Lebar MRT station. Despite its age, the pool remains popular with lap swimmers, families and swimming lesson groups throughout the week.
The complex was renovated in 2004, with upgrades to the changing rooms, pool deck and filtration system. The 50-metre competition pool is one of the older full-length outdoor pools still in regular use in central-east Singapore.
