Sengkang Swimming Complex: slide height limits, feature pool prices and the Monday closure

Sengkang Swimming Complex opens from 8am to 9:30pm every day except Monday, when it closes all day. It is a feature pool, so entry costs more than at a plain complex: S$1.50 on weekdays and S$2.00 at weekends for an adult Singapore citizen or permanent resident.

The price point is the one most people get wrong. ActiveSG's facility page carries a notice that Sengkang reverted to a feature pool from 1 July 2025, and that feature pool rates apply. Older guides that quote S$1.00 are out of date.

The address is 57 Anchorvale Road, Singapore 544964, at Sengkang Sport Centre beside Anchorvale Community Club.

Opening hours

The early session is for lap swimmers. Only the competition pool opens, on three mornings a week. The slides do not run at 6:30am, so do not bring excited children to it.

The slides and their height limits

ActiveSG lists five slides, each with a minimum height. Every visitor has to meet the limit to ride.

This table saves arguments. A child of 1.25 m can ride two slides and must watch the other three. A child under 1.2 m cannot ride any of them, and for that child the trip is a pool visit at a higher price. Measure at home, in bare feet, and set expectations in the car.

Height limits at public pools are safety rules, so expect the staff to enforce them. A parent's promise does not move the measuring board.

What it costs

These are the special features complex rates on the ActiveSG individual rates page, checked on 5 October 2026.

A family of two adults and two children pays S$6.00 on a Saturday. Grandparents may cost nothing: singapore citizens aged 65 and above enter ActiveSG gyms and swimming pools free. ActiveSG's help site says no pass is needed: scan your NRIC at the entrance. A commercial water park charges many times that for one ticket, which is the whole case for feature pools.

In the ActiveSG app, buy a feature pass, not a normal pass. A normal pass covers only complexes without special water features. ActiveSG names six feature complexes: Choa Chu Kang, Heartbeat @ Bedok, Jurong East, Jurong West, Pasir Ris and Sengkang.

If you swim often, the MyActiveSWIM monthly pass is S$10 for an adult and S$5 for a child or senior citizen. An adult who swims here at weekends breaks even at five visits a month.

What else is there

The facility page lists a sheltered pool, which matters at midday and in light rain. It also gives the complex an inclusive pool label and lists a pool wheelchair.

The same sport centre has an ActiveSG gym, open from 7am to 10pm daily. A parent who is not on slide duty can train for S$2.50 while the other one supervises. Our guide to pay-per-use gyms in Singapore explains how single entries compare with a pass.

How to plan the visit

1. Check the day. Monday is closed, unless it is a public holiday.
2. Measure the children against the slide table above.
3. Buy feature passes in the ActiveSG app before you leave.
4. Use the pool capacity check on the facility page. School holidays and weekend afternoons are the peak.
5. Check the weather. ActiveSG may close outdoor facilities in bad weather as a safety precaution.

Who this pool suits

It suits families with children tall enough for the slides, and it is one of the cheapest good afternoons in the north-east. It also suits lap swimmers who can make the Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday early session.

It suits adults who only want quiet lengths less well. Outside the early session you share the complex with the slide crowd, and you pay the feature rate for features you will not use. A normal complex costs a third less. Our guide to Jalan Besar Swimming Complex covers one option, and the rebuilt Ang Mo Kio complex is another.
