Splash around in one of the below mind-blowing ocean pools in Sydney.
If you want to experience the thrill of the ocean waves as well as the calm of the swimming, dive into an ocean pool in Sydney. The beach city is home to some of the most fun and dramatic ocean pools with most of them free to the public. The ocean pools have become as much part of the beach culture in Sydney as the sand.
Below is a list of the best ocean pools in Sydney that you can try out.
One of Sydney’s oldest and most photographed pools, Bronte Baths opened its doors in 1997. It is built into a rocky cliffside with stairs leading down to the pool area giving you ample room to laze around in the surrounding rocks. You can spot all types of swimmers here from people taking laps to kids splashing around in floaties. It is a great place to take a few leisurely laps, as the pool is not very long. We suggest getting to the pool before 5 am to watch the sunrise from the ocean’s horizon.
A triangular-shaped pool, Fairy Bowel is set into the rocky shoreline on Marine Parade. It gives a calm compared to the Manly Beach waves offering the perfect place to cool off or sunbake. For swimmers, this ocean pool can prove to be tricky for laps as it is only 20 meters long and can be used for swimming only on one side.
Ocean pool by day and wedding venue by night, the baths have changed little since long-distance and underwater champion Henry Alexander built it in 1907. Wylie’s Baths is a 50-metre pool offering a 180-degree panoramic view of the majestic blue ocean. From massage sessions to yoga lessons, they have a variety of facilities at your disposal. Furthermore, this heritage-listed beauty is one of the first mixed-gender baths in Australia.
Located at Sydney’s most famous beach, the 50-metre saltwater pool is a popular spot for sunbathers as well as people on the Bondi to Coogee walk. However, to become a member of the toughest swimming Club in Sydney, The Icebergs, you must swim at least one lap every Sunday throughout winters despite the icy weather. Alternatively, you can join the masses and stick to casual summer entry.
Swim some laps between the coast and the ocean at these ocean pools without the fear of sharks.
