Heated Indoor Swimming Pool in Ara Damansara & Puchong: Inside Skywhale’s Facilities
A heated indoor swimming pool is not a luxury for a baby or a nervous four-year-old — it is the difference between a child who relaxes into the water and one who spends the whole lesson shivering and clinging to the wall. Both Skywhale Swimming Academy branches, in Ara Damansara (Petaling Jaya) and Puchong Jaya, run salt-water pools heated to 32°C. This page walks you through the facilities at each branch, because our third pillar — a cozy environment — is something you should be able to check before you visit.

The Pool: 32°C, Salt Water, Tested Daily
Our philosophy is comfort over luxury. We are not trying to impress you with a lobby. We are trying to make sure your child is warm, the water is clean, you can see every minute of the class, and everyone can shower properly afterwards.
- Temperature held at 32°CThe range recommended for infants and young children, and the reason our baby swimming class can run 30-minute sessions without babies getting cold.
- Salt-water system, not a conventional chlorine pool — gentler on skin, eyes and hair.
- Soft water and premium filtration; water tested daily; pool vacuumed at least three times a week.
- IndoorNo sun, no rain cancellations, and the same conditions every week.

Why You Can Watch Every Class
Large glass viewing panels and CCTV screens in the lounge are not a design choice; they are part of how we build trust. You can see the coach, the Head Coach supervising, and your child’s reaction to every exercise — the same transparency behind our video-based level assessments (see how the learning system works).
Clean and Tidy, Every Day
High cleanliness standards for the pool deck, changing areas and lounge are a fixed part of daily operations at both branches, because a parent who waits 30 minutes in a damp, cluttered space will not come back — and neither would we.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the pool heated all year round?
Yes. Both branches hold the water at 32°C every day the academy is open.
Is a salt-water pool safe for babies?
Yes — salt-water systems are gentler on skin and eyes than conventional chlorination, which is one reason we use them for classes starting at 6 months. Water is tested daily.
Can parents watch from the pool deck?
Parents watch from the air-conditioned lounge or the glass viewing area rather than poolside — it keeps the deck clear for coaches and lets you see the whole class comfortably. In the baby levels, one parent is in the water with the child.
Which branch is closer to Subang Jaya, Sunway or Bukit Jalil?
Puchong Jaya. Families from Kelana Jaya, Kota Damansara and the wider Damansara area usually use Ara Damansara.
