The Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) will provide heated swimming facilities in 24 LCSD swimming pools throughout the territory for public use during winter to allow more people to continue to exercise. The department calls on swimmers to keep public swimming pools clean and hygienic while swimming.
Individual swimming pools with heated swimming facilities will be temporarily closed during certain periods in winter for maintenance works. Details are as follows:
