Swimming Pools in Sydney
Written by
Sydney offers over 20 public pools where residents and visitors alike can spend the day swimming laps at local pools or relaxing with family in one of Sydney’s beautiful ocean pools, making Sydney an ideal swimming city. Residents and visitors alike can spend a relaxing day basking in the sunshine or taking a refreshing dip.
The city’s climate – featuring mild to hot air temperatures and tolerable to pleasant water temperatures provided by the East Australian (“Nemo”) Current – creates an ideal setting for swimming, bathing, surfing, sailing and other recreational water activities. The southern two-thirds of NSW Coast often features short to medium length sandy beaches nestled between rocky headlands. Sandstone headlands in particular near ocean pools or beach bathing areas make ideal locations for setting up pools since excavation is easy while providing anchorage against tide changes or weather fluctuations.
Sydney’s swimming pools have long been part of its culture. Not just standard council pools, they serve as places where people come together to socialise, relax and soak up the atmosphere.
Swimming pools can serve as the center of local community events and form an essential part of our sporting and recreational lives, while being essential for health and wellbeing. Therefore, it’s vitally important that our city’s swimming facilities continue to be an invaluable asset within our city’s fabric.
Maintaining, cleaning, and sanitising are the keys to keeping a pool safe for swimmers while decreasing infection risks and prolonging its lifespan. Furthermore, it’s crucial that pool chemicals don’t overdose and lead to toxic shock or worse – potentially even leading to death!
