The day before yesterday while I was roaming around Tanjong Pagar Road and came in contact with the Yan Kit Swimming Complex along Yan Kit Road which occupies a total of 14,859 sq-m plot of land built on an old railway site off Cantonment Road it was named after Mr Look Yan Kit a Canton born dentist who came to Singapore in 1877 and was involved in the founding of the Kwong Wai Shiu Free Hospital in 1910. The swimming complex was opened in 1952 user had to pay an amount of 15 cents per entry and it is also second to the Mount Emily Complex which was built in 1930. Finally, the curtain fall on Yan Kit Swimming Complex in 2001 due to falling attendance and the rest is history.
