A Training Hub Since 1991
Bishan Swimming Complex opened on 1 December 1991 as part of the Bishan Sports and Recreation Centre. It was built to serve the growing population in Bishan New Town, which had been developed through the 1980s as one of Singapore's largest HDB estates.
The complex sits within the Bishan Sports and Recreation Centre, which also includes a stadium, a sports hall and indoor courts. It remains one of the busiest public pools in the central region, popular with lap swimmers, competitive training groups and families.
Adjacent to the complex is Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park, one of the largest urban parks in Singapore. The park's naturalised river and open green spaces make the area a popular weekend destination. A CVDDS drowning prevention system has been installed at the pool for added safety.
