Start saving with an ActiveSG membership
1. Redeem the SGD$100 ActiveSG credits
All eligible members, upon signing up, can redeem the complimentary $100 ActiveSG credit. Upon verification, set up your 6 digits eWallet PIN.
Hurray! You will be able to view and use the complimentary ActiveSG $100 credited to your account.
On the other hand, eligible members (under 12 years of age) without SingPass accounts can visit ActiveSG Sports Centres and produce their student passes or any identification documents for verification.
The SGD$100 credits can be used for ActiveSG pool and gym admission. In addition, it can be used for ActiveSG programmes, facilities booking and purchasing of facilities’ schemes. However, please note that the credits cannot be used for programmes conducted by external vendors, such as using the credits to pay for swimming lessons.
To further encourage more children to lead an active lifestyle, children aged 4 to 12 years old will get an additional top-up of $100 in their ActiveSG accounts on 1 May 2023. This means that the children who registered for a new ActiveSG account will have $200 credits in their ActiveSG accounts.
2. Using the credits for your child’s pool entry
It is important to note that the complimentary ActiveSG $100 has an expiry date and it will expire on 31 December of the following year upon verification of the membership account.
However, the credits can be used for your child’s (below 12 years old and tagged to their parent) pool entry. Hence, the next time you enroll your child in group or private swimming lessons for kids at a public pool, you can use your credits for both yourself and your child’s pool entry.
3. Purchasing of MyActiveSG’s scheme
