Sydney boasts stunning coastlines, magical harbours, and numerous urban public pools that make swimming accessible and enjoyable. However, for an ideal pool day celebration – featuring Thirsty Merc blaring out loud while friends and family gather together – nothing compares to owning a private pool!
If this sounds like you, here is where to find the ideal Sydney pools to transform your backyard into an idyllic summer-long retreat.
Sydney Village offers over six impressive aquatic centres that enable residents to swim, learn, and experience water in a safe, accessible setting within their community.
Village of Sydney provides state-of-the-art facilities, professional instructors and courses tailored to all ages – the perfect environment to get into swimming and make it part of a lifelong practice!
Every aquatic centre in the village is an integral and captivating element, offering experienced staff ready to answer questions and offer assistance.
Aquatic centers in the village host not only classes for various disciplines but also swimming and diving competitions throughout the year. Each year, several events from both domestic and international venues are also hosted here.
One of the most sought-after events includes the World Championships of Swimming and Aquatic Centre Open Water Competition, both of which have been hosted at Olympic Park, Sydney Convention Centre, and Sidney Aquatic Centre respectively.
Ms McDermott notes that creating ocean pools required both hard work and money, something out of the reach of councils in pre-Depression times. Instead, they were built by community improvement associations funded through unemployment relief schemes in suburbs such as Maroubra and Curl Curl; others existed along the northern beaches like Bondi and Bronte as tucked-away neighbourhood pools tucked between cliffs.
