Visited Jalan Besar Swimming Complex (100 Tyrwhitt Rd) on a Thursday afternoon and had a great swim! Opens from 8 am to 9:30 pm on Thursdays, with entry just $1.30 for adults on weekdays via ActiveSG. The pool was quiet with plenty of lanes, water was clean, and facilities like showers and lockers were well-maintained. Conveniently located near Farrer Park MRTβ€”great value for a peaceful weekday swim.

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

A wonderful everyday swimming venue that's genuinely affordable, reliably clean, and easy to reach. The teaching pool is a good depth for young swimmers building confidence, while the lap pool gives adults space to exercise. Weekday visits reward families with quiet lanes and a peaceful atmosphere. Bring contactless payment and sunscreen.

β€œThis is a great place to relax and unwind on your day off. The price is affordable, and it’s conveniently located near Farrer Park MRT β€” I think it’s only about a 10-minute walk from the station. The pool is clean, and even if you’re not a strong swimmer, there are always friendly staff around to help and keep an eye on you.”

β€œAs a foreigner I have to say (reading previous comments ) that the registration/payment was simplified and now I just needed to pay the entrance fee using Google pay/apple pay etc. and that's it. Overall great facility for the price especially. Take and use your sun screen.”
