Sydney boasts several spectacular pools that offer activities and swimming experiences for the whole family, gyms, saunas and spas; some also provide stunning views of Sydney Harbour Bridge or Luna Park!
Ocean pools in Sydney are an especially unique form of public pool. Situated along the rugged cliffs along the surf-coast, they provide safe recreational swimming opportunities as well as learn-to-swim classes for swimmers and beachgoers. Ocean pools tend to have more ‘wild’ qualities than their counterparts indoor or tidal pools due to the collaborative efforts among state/local governments, residents and community groups working towards making them a success.
These pools can often be found near the southern end of a stretch of sandy or rocky coastline and can range in size from small ‘rock bath’ structures to formalised pools that span multiple acres. Sydney’s ocean pools have long served as recreational and sporting venues; many are even listed on Sydney’s Heritage Register as Heritage-listed landmarks.
In the 1930s, ocean pools such as Bronte Baths and Bondi Baths established connections with rural communities by offering learn-to-swim courses free of charge to children staying at Stewart House Preventorium. This marked one of many social tourism programs run by Sydney swimming clubs visiting rural regions to teach water safety skills such as swimming.
