Provision of real-time updates on closures of swimming pools in ActiveSG app

Response to parliamentary question on whether there are plans to enhance the ActiveSG app to provide real-time updates on closures of swimming pools due to bad weather

Oral PQ *5321. Mr Ong Hua Han: To ask the Minister for Culture, Community and Youth whether the Ministry plans to enhance the ActiveSG app to provide real-time updates on closures of swimming pools due to bad weather and, if so, what is the timeline for implementing this improvement.

1. SportSG uses real-time information from National Environment Agency’s (NEA) Lightning Information Service to decide the closure of ActiveSG swimming pools. This information is also available to the public through NEA’s myENV app.

2. SportSG will consider incorporating this information in its future upgrades of the ActiveSG app, so that it is more convenient to its users.

3. I thank the Member for his suggestion.
