Singapore has 23 public swimming complexes for people to have fun and enjoy with. Among these, there are two swimming complexes with wave pool: Choa Chu Kang Swimming Complex and Jurong East Swimming Complex. So these are probably the two complexes to include in you list if you want extra fun and adventure.

We first visited Jurong East Swimming Complex. It took us almost 2 hours by public transport from Sengkang to Jurong East Swimming Complex. I thought that the main attractions for visitors were the lazy river and wave pool. At certain times in the wave pool, water sprinkles from above and makes it looks like a rain storm. Aside from lazy river and wave, it also has three big slides which are colored blue, pink and yellow. These slide are for those who love adventure, speed and excitement. Yellow is the shortest but it gives the fastest speed into the water. The blue is the longest and highest; it has many spins and sharp turns. The red is in-between of both slides.

The entrance fees during weekends are S$2 for an adult and S$1 for a child. It would be fun if you rent a rubber tube for S$2 to float around the river or enjoy the wave pool. The lazy river is landscaped with waterfalls and rocks and is propelled by water jets. The tube may spin and bump into other tubes.

For food, there is a KFC upstairs and a cafe. If you want to have a picnic table, you need to be very early to get a one.
