Singapore's Wave Pool
Choa Chu Kang Swimming Complex opened in 2001 and immediately stood out for having something no other public pool in Singapore offers: a wave pool. Designed by architect Alex Ford of Elton-Roade, the complex won the Singapore Institute of Architects Merit Award in 2002 and a CIDB Construction Excellence Award in 2003.
For nearly two decades, the complex drew crowds from across the island, especially families chasing the wave pool and water slides. By 2019 the facilities needed a major overhaul. The complex closed in April 2019 for a full renovation.
It reopened in 2023 with upgraded facilities including a sheltered teaching pool, two new water slides (a narrow speed slide and a wider family slide), a refreshed lazy river, jacuzzi, and improved changing rooms. The wave pool - still Singapore's only public one - was retained and refurbished.
