Status, last checked 28 October 2026: Toa Payoh Swimming Complex is closed. You cannot swim, buy admission or take lessons there.
The former Toa Payoh Swimming Complex, part of Toa Payoh Sport Centre at 301 Lorong 6 Toa Payoh, closed on 31 October 2023 for redevelopment. Official information targets completion of the Toa Payoh Integrated Development by 2030. Public opening arrangements for the new aquatic centre remain subject to confirmation.
Current closure status
The ActiveSG Toa Payoh Sport Centre page lists the entire facility as closed for redevelopment from 31 October 2023, with the closure running to 2030. There are no public swimming sessions, ActiveSG admissions or lessons at the site. Don’t use the old address as a swimming destination.
Why the former complex closed
Sport Singapore announced in October 2023 that the sport centre would close to make way for a new Regional Sport Centre within the Toa Payoh Integrated Development, which also brings together a polyclinic, a public library and a town park. Sport Singapore said that the ActiveSG Sport Centres at Bishan and Jalan Besar would serve Toa Payoh users during the transition.
Historical note (pre-closure): the former complex had a competition pool, a teaching pool and a wading pool. This describes the facility before October 2023 only.
What is planned for the new aquatic centre
Published plans describe an aquatic centre with four indoor pools, three outdoor leisure pools and about 2,000 spectator seats. A groundbreaking ceremony was held on 5 January 2025. These are planned facilities. Artist impressions do not confirm the final design, accessibility features, operating hours or admission prices.
Completion target versus public opening
“Completed by 2030” is the target for the whole integrated development. It is not a confirmed date for public swimming. Opening hours, admission rates, lane arrangements and which lesson providers may teach there have not been announced. We will update this page when Sport Singapore or ActiveSG publishes them.

Choosing an alternative lesson venue
Pick the pool by the learner’s journey and schedule first, then confirm the coach. Before you pay, confirm in writing: the actual pool, the coach and their current credentials, the day and time, the package length, the fees, whether admission is included, and the weather and make-up policy.
Accessibility and travel considerations
Check ActiveSG’s facility page for the alternative pool’s accessible entry, changing rooms and pool-entry equipment. For learners with additional needs, see individualised lesson alternatives.
