The weather of late has been erratic of late, it can be sweltering one moment and pouring just the next.
On days when the sun is merciless, working out can be a pretty challenging experience given the heat, but perhaps it can be more bearable when you’re surrounded by a cool body of water.
Lower Seletar Water Sports Centre, located in Khatib, recently opened its doors to members of the public, offering kayak and dragonboat rental from just $8 per hour.

As the name suggests, the water sports centre is located at Lower Seletar Reservoir, just a short walk away from Khatib MRT station.
Though it’s of close proximity to residential areas, the unobstructed view at the facility is sure to blow visitors away, and could easily pass off as a secluded island in the Caribbean.

Equipment like kayaks, paddles, and even personal floatation device (PFD) are reportedly spanking new, so you won’t have to worry about using worn-out ones.
Nee Soon MP Muhammad Faishal Ibrahim even visited the sports centre earlier last month, and as you can probably tell, he clearly enjoyed his time there.
Though no certification is required, do note that visitors have to be at least 7 years old in order to kayak.
