GYMS WITH SWIMMING POOL ACCESS IN ADMIRALTY 2026

Looking for gyms with pool access near Admiralty? While most commercial gyms in Admiralty don't have in-house pools, the best strategy is pairing a quality gym membership with nearby public swimming complexes. ActiveSG Gym @ Woodlands Swimming Complex is the only facility offering both gym and pool under one roof from just $2.50/entry. For serious swimmers, combine a Snap Fitness 888 Plaza membership ($70/month) with Woodlands Swimming Complex pool access ($1.50/swim) for a comprehensive fitness solution.

ADMIRALTY FITNESS LANDSCAPE: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

Admiralty sits at the northern tip of Singapore, sandwiched between Woodlands to the west and Sembawang to the east. This positioning is actually advantageous for fitness enthusiasts seeking combined gym and pool access because you have options spreading in multiple directions.

The reality is that most commercial gyms in Singapore don't include swimming facilities. It's simply not economically viable for a boutique or franchise gym to maintain a pool. However, Admiralty residents have a unique advantage: the Woodlands Swimming Complex is just a 10-minute bus ride away, and it houses both an ActiveSG gym and Olympic-standard pool. This means you can get a complete aquatic and strength training workout at public facility prices.

For those willing to travel 15-20 minutes, SAFRA Yishun offers a full-service country club experience with swimming pool, gym, and recreational facilities. NSmen get substantial membership discounts, making it an excellent value proposition for Singaporean males who have completed National Service.

HOW TO CHOOSE: FIND YOUR PERFECT GYM + POOL SETUP

Not everyone has the same fitness goals. Here's a breakdown of the best options based on your specific needs and swimming style:

FOR THE LAP SWIMMER

Serious about swimming technique and endurance

If you're swimming for distance, technique improvement, or triathlon training, you need a proper 50-meter pool with lane swimming. Public pools are your best option here, as most private gyms only have smaller recreational pools unsuitable for serious training.

RECOMMENDED SETUP:

Primary: Woodlands Swimming Complex (50m pool)
Gym: Snap Fitness 888 Plaza
Why: Olympic pool for technique + 5-star gym for dryland training

COST BREAKDOWN:

Gym: $70/month
Pool (5x/week): ~$30/month
Total: ~$100/month

FOR FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN

Need pools with kids' facilities and family-friendly gyms

Families need variety: a teaching pool for swimming lessons, a children's play pool for fun, and a gym that won't mind kids waiting. The ActiveSG facilities at Woodlands Swimming Complex check all boxes, with separate pools for different ages and skill levels.

RECOMMENDED SETUP:

Primary: ActiveSG @ Woodlands Swimming Complex
Alternative: SAFRA Yishun (full club)
Why: Teaching pool, children's pool, pay-per-use flexibility

COST BREAKDOWN:

Gym: $2.50/visit (or free with kids swimming)
Pool: $0.70-$1.50/visit per person
Family of 4: ~$10-15/visit

FOR AQUA FITNESS ENTHUSIASTS

Interested in water aerobics, rehab, or low-impact exercise

If you're recovering from injury, have joint issues, or simply prefer low-impact exercise, aqua fitness classes are invaluable. SAFRA clubs often offer structured aqua aerobics programs, while public pools have designated times for water exercise. Combine with a gentle gym routine for comprehensive rehabilitation or fitness maintenance.

RECOMMENDED SETUP:

Primary: SAFRA Yishun (aqua classes)
Budget: Yishun Swimming Complex
Why: Structured classes, warm pool, rehabilitation-friendly

COST BREAKDOWN:

SAFRA membership: $35-54/month
Includes: Gym + pool + classes
Best value for aqua fitness

FOR CROSS-TRAINING ATHLETES

Triathletes, runners, cyclists using swimming for recovery

Swimming is the ultimate cross-training tool: zero impact, full-body workout, and active recovery. For serious athletes, you need a quality gym for strength work and a pool for recovery days. The priority is gym quality, with swimming as a supplement rather than the main event.

RECOMMENDED SETUP:

Gym: Anytime Fitness Sembawang (24/7)
Pool: Sembawang Swimming Complex
Why: Train any time + global gym access while traveling

COST BREAKDOWN:

Anytime Fitness: $70-100/month
Pool (2x/week recovery): ~$12/month
Total: ~$82-112/month

WHY COMBINE GYM AND POOL TRAINING?

A gym-only membership limits your fitness options. Here's why adding pool access is worth the extra cost:

🏊 Active Recovery

Swimming on rest days increases blood flow without stressing joints. A 20-minute easy swim between heavy lifting days speeds recovery and reduces muscle soreness.

💪 Low-Impact Cardio

Running wears down knees over time. Swimming burns similar calories with zero joint impact. Ideal for heavier athletes or those with existing injuries.

🔥 Full-Body Conditioning

Swimming engages muscles you rarely use in the gym. Lats, shoulders, core, and legs all work together. It's functional fitness in its purest form.

🧘 Mental Reset

Water immersion has proven stress-reducing effects. A swim after weights clears your head better than any meditation app. Many gym-goers report improved sleep quality.

GETTING TO ADMIRALTY GYMS

Admiralty is well-connected but spread out. Here's how to reach each facility:

🚇 By MRT

Admiralty MRT (NS10) is your hub. Most gyms are within 10-15 minutes walking distance. Take Exit A for facilities near Kampung Admiralty, Exit B for those near Woodlands Road.

🚌 By Bus

Bus services 913, 912, 903, and 965 stop along Woodlands Avenue. The 913 connects directly from Woodlands MRT for those coming from the interchange.

🚗 By Car

HDB parking at Blocks 670-680 offers affordable rates ($0.60/hour). The new Kampung Admiralty carpark has more spaces but fills up during dinner hours. Weekend morning parking is generally easy.

BEGINNER SWIM WORKOUT FOR GYM-GOERS

New to pool training? Here's a simple workout to complement your gym routine:

The 30-Minute Gym-Goer's Swim

WARM-UP

5 minutes easy freestyle. Focus on form, not speed. Stretch out tight muscles from your gym session.

MAIN SET

8 x 50m (rest 30 seconds between sets). Moderate effort—you should be able to talk at the wall.

KICK SET

4 x 25m kick only (use a kickboard). Targets quads and glutes—great complement to upper-body gym days.

COOL-DOWN

5 minutes easy backstroke. Opens up chest and shoulders after bench press days.

Total: ~30 minutes, 800-1000m. Perfect for recovery days or after light gym sessions.

Pro tip: Bring flip-flops for the pool deck and a microfiber towel that dries quickly. Most Admiralty facilities have basic changing rooms but limited amenities.

SAVING MONEY ON GYM + POOL ACCESS

Gym-pool combos can get expensive. Here are strategies to cut costs:

The ActiveSG Combo

ActiveSG gyms ($2.50/entry) + public pools ($1.50/entry) = $4 per combo session. If you go 3x per week, that's only $48/month. No contract, no commitment.

Condo Gym Hunting

Some condo developments allow residents to sponsor non-resident gym access. If you know someone in a condo with gym and pool, ask about guest passes or monthly arrangements.

Off-Peak Memberships

Some premium gyms offer reduced rates for non-peak access (typically before 5pm or weekends only). If your schedule allows, these can save 20-30% on full membership costs.

Quick reminder: Most Admiralty pools close for cleaning on certain weekdays. Check schedules before planning your combined gym-pool sessions. ActiveSG's website shows real-time facility availability.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Are there any gyms in Admiralty with in-house swimming pools?

No commercial gyms in Admiralty have in-house swimming pools. The closest facility with both is ActiveSG Gym @ Woodlands Swimming Complex, which offers a gym and Olympic-standard pool in the same location. For a private club experience with pool access, SAFRA Yishun is 12 minutes away by MRT and includes pool access with membership.

What's the cheapest way to get gym and pool access near Admiralty?

The most budget-friendly option is ActiveSG @ Woodlands Swimming Complex with pay-per-entry pricing: $2.50 for gym (peak) and $1.50 for pool. If you visit twice a week for both, that's about $32/month. For unlimited access, SAFRA Yishun membership starts at $35/month for NSmen (includes gym + pool + all facilities).

Which swimming pool near Admiralty is best for serious lap swimming?

Woodlands Swimming Complex has the best facilities for serious swimmers with a 50-meter Olympic-standard competition pool. It's properly maintained for lane swimming, has pace clocks, and is used for training by local swim clubs. For triathletes and competitive swimmers, this is the clear choice. The pool is 10 minutes from Admiralty MRT by Bus 912.

Can I use a condo swimming pool if I don't live there?

No, condo pools are restricted to residents and their guests only. However, some condos allow residents to bring guests for a fee. If you know someone living in a condo with a pool, you might be able to use it as their guest. For regular access, public ActiveSG pools are your best option at $1.50 per entry, or join SAFRA for $35-54/month including pool access.

What are the operating hours for public swimming pools near Admiralty?

ActiveSG swimming complexes typically operate: Tuesday to Sunday: 8am-9:30pm. Pools are closed on Mondays for maintenance. Peak hours (higher crowds) are weekday evenings 6-8pm and weekend afternoons 2-5pm. For the best swimming experience, visit during off-peak hours: weekday mornings before 10am or weekday afternoons 2-5pm. Check the ActiveSG app for real-time crowd levels before heading out.
