Nothing says ‘summer’ like a refreshing swim in a pool, and for those living in Sydney the city is packed with world-class aquatic centres that offer the perfect place to soak up some sun and do some serious swimming. So, whether you’re looking to get your fitness on, enjoy a few laps with friends or imagine yourself in a summery coming-of-age film, here are some of the best sidney pools to visit.
For inner-Sydney locals who can’t always make it to the beach, Prince Alfred Park Pool is a slice of summer perched between Surry Hills and Redfern. Buttercup yellow umbrellas and lawns strewn with swimmers help to create that Riviera vibe, and the 50-metre pool is just at that jump-right-in temperature. If you live in the area consider getting a 360 Membership to access the pool plus the gym and sports facilities at the nearby Sydney Olympic Park.
It’s hard to find a better workout than a good old-fashioned pool session, and it’s even better when it comes with a view! This Cremorne favourite offers just that, with its shady poolside loungers framed by leafy flowering gums and epic Sydney skyline backdrop. Just remember that the pool is emptied and cleaned once a week, so plan ahead if you’re planning to spend an afternoon here.
A pool is a great way to get fit and stay healthy, as it helps improve cardiovascular health and muscle tone while burning calories at an extremely fast rate. It also provides a low impact form of exercise, which can be easy on the joints and back. However, it’s important to note that swimming is not an effective exercise for people who are overweight, as it can cause excessive strain on the joints and lead to injury if done incorrectly.
There are many other benefits of a pool-based workout, including reducing the risk of high blood pressure, diabetes and heart disease. In addition, it can improve posture and coordination, while strengthening muscles and bones. Additionally, it can help reduce stress and anxiety, and it can help you sleep better at night.
