Pool: Singapore - Singapore Airport Pool
Grade: A
The Good: Location, Location, Location
The Ugly: The pool is small and a funny shape.
Reflections: It may appear to be a colossal extravigence to award a kidney shaped smallish pool on the roof of Singapore Airport an "A". As we have said a pool should be measured not only for what it is, but in the context of its environment. In this case environment is all. Invariably New Zealanders at Singapore Airport have flown for 10 hours and have five hours to wait for their next flight. We have tried dashing into town for a swim at the University. Now the Airport has a pool of its own, it is far better to stroll up to the roof for a relaxed swim. The pool is only big enough for five or six strokes in each direction but we've found it serves the purpose well. There is a poolside bar for coaches and administrators to exercise at as well. The changing rooms are fully equiped with showers, towels, shaving gear, dryers and the like. There are numerous lounger type chairs to snooze on before your next flight. It's a good deal and all for about $NZ10.
