PROJECT PROGRESS UPDATE: UPGRADING OF RECREATION COMPLEX (RC) & FUN POOL

As part of the Club’s ongoing commitment to keep members informed, we are pleased to share the latest updates on the upgrading works at the Recreation Complex (RC) and Fun Pool.

The RC passenger lift has been closed since 1 December to facilitate the installation of a brand-new lift, with completion expected by early 2Q 2026. In addition, scheduling for the installation of the wheelchair and platform lifts at the RC entrance is underway and is also targeted for completion by 2Q 2026. Meanwhile, works on the Fun Pool are progressing well and are on track to be completed by the first half of February 2026, barring unforeseen delays.

Redefined Spaces, Elevated Experiences

Once completed, the upgraded RC will welcome members into a world of refined comfort and contemporary elegance. Upon arrival, members will be greeted by a stylish lobby lounge, dressed in a sophisticated palette of matte copper, charcoal grey and black. It is complemented by a modern deli bar offering decadent patisserie and desserts. The space is ideal for unwinding after a long day or holding casual business meetings.

The new restaurant offers a thoughtfully curated fusion menu that delights the palate. A dedicated wine and whisky display, paired with live band performances, creates the perfect ambience for memorable evenings filled with rock, soul and classic favourites.

Moving to the second floor, members will discover a pillarless multi-function room, the first in Singapore social clubs to feature a dynamic LED floor that injects energy and excitement into any occasion. This versatile space caters to sports such as pickleball, as well as corporate events and celebrations.

The experience is complete on the third floor, with a family-friendly karaoke lounge featuring seven cosy private rooms and a quality sound system designed to make every celebration unforgettable.

Thank you for your continued support and understanding as we work towards delivering an enhanced club experience for all members.

If you have any questions about the upgrading works, please contact us at feedback@chineseswimmingclub.org.sg.

Thank you once again for your continued support.

PROJECT PROGRESS UPDATE: UPGRADING OF RECREATION COMPLEX & GREAT BUBBLE REEF (FUN POOL)

As part of the Club’s commitment to regular member communications, we are pleased to update members on the ongoing upgrading works at the Recreation Complex and Great Bubble Reef (Fun Pool), following the $9 million enhancement project approved at the 109th AGM.

Recreation Complex (RC) Upgrading Works
The RC Alteration & Addition (A&A) works officially commenced on 18 June 2025 and will span a period of approximately 9 months. Since then, several major milestones have been achieved:
• Mobilisation & Demolition: The contractor, YNY, took possession of Level 3 in mid-June, with hoarding and demolition works progressively carried out at the dance studio, former 3Bars, KTV rooms, and the Level 1 lobby.
• Permit Clearances: Key regulatory approvals from BCA and LTA were secured to enable structural works, including those within the Railway Protection Zone.
• Design and Safety Enhancements: The Management Committee approved the appointment of Somerville to supply and install new kitchen equipment at the upcoming restaurant. Additional safety upgrades, such as new emergency escape stairs and the reinstatement of cavity barriers to comply with SCDF fire regulations were also directed.
• Work Coordination: We are actively monitoring progress through weekly progress meetings with consultants, including Spark and Bluetec. While some submissions (e.g., shop drawings) were delayed, YNY has responded to feedback to get back on schedule.

Great Bubble Reef (Fun Pool) Revamp
The contractor, Men’spool, has been appointed to undertake the upgrading, which will introduce:
• A more vibrant and family-friendly poolscape
• Enhanced aesthetics and new play features to elevate the recreational experience
The revamped Fun Pool is targeted to reopen by early January 2026, barring unforeseen delays.

What Members Can Expect
During this period, you may encounter noise, hoarding, and restricted access to certain areas within the Recreation Complex. The Club seeks your kind understanding and patience, as we continue this transformative journey to deliver a revitalised and more vibrant social and sporting environment.

We remain committed to minimising disruptions and will continue to keep you updated through regular communications.
