MAKE A SPLASH!
With pools reopening in Sydney, we’ve rounded up the best swimming spots to recharge and soak up the summer sun!
WYLIE’S BATHS, Coogee
Said to be one of Sydney’s most beautiful ocean tide pools, Wylie’s Baths is located in the heart of Coogee ( just a 15-minute drive from Bondi) and offers sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean as well as the famous Wedding Cake Island. Rejuvenate with a seaside swim followed by a fresh bite to eat along the picturesque decking areas and enjoy some of the best ocean scenery Sydney has to offer.
ANDREW ( BOY) CHARLTON POOL, Sydney CBD
Located ocated along Woolloomooloo Bay and with stunning harbour views, this saltwater Olympic lap pool is a popular location for serious swimmers. Those not up for a competitive swim are welcome to soak up summer rays on an array of wooden deckchairs surrounding the pool. A great place to refresh and relax, the facility also offers alfresco yoga at certain times of the year!
OAK PARK ROCK POOL, Cronulla
Cronulla offers several places to take a refreshing dip along the coastline. There’s North Cronulla’s popular family-friendly rock pool, while the adjacent South Cronulla Beach offers a larger 50-metre eight lane pool. Venture further south just below Glaisher Point to find Oak Park Rock Pool. With shallow waters and a cement enclosure, it’s the perfect place to take the kids for a paddle without being overwhelmed by waves. After making a splash, why not head over for a picnic at Oak Park, which features undercover BBQS and a playground.
