How it's used
Public facilities in Hong Kong are often managed by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, which locals simply refer to as 公眾泳池. When discussing going for a swim, Cantonese speakers frequently use the verb phrase 游水 rather than just the noun alone. It is common to specify whether a pool is indoor or outdoor by using 室內 or 室外 as prefixes.
