Sydney residents know just how magical its beaches and harbour can be, while for a truly fun summer day you might prefer having access to your own private pool with plenty of room for splashing and splashing around with loved ones. That’s why so many homeowners invest in pool renovations; creating stunning outdoor spaces designed for relaxation as well as providing valuable exercise or therapeutic benefits is becoming an increasingly attractive trend among homeowners.

Swimming pools have long been an Australian pastime, dating back over 200 years. The first man-made pools were created by convicts in Newcastle and Wollongong during the early 1800s; subsequent beachside municipalities then created or dynamited their own ocean swimming holes. Nowadays however, councils tend to prioritize preserving existing ocean pools built using outdated construction techniques which are far more vulnerable to currents, swells and rainfall than modern sea structures.

Sydney boasts a vast coastline and magical harbor, giving rise to an abundance of public pools in urban settings. However, for those searching for the ideal Sydney pools to spend their days splashing about, there are options beyond Sydney’s indoor/outdoor facilities that could meet your swimming needs.

Bondi and Bronte baths, built in 1907, are among the city’s best-known tide rock pools. Coogee also offers Henry Wylie’s Baths as one of its beautiful tidal pools; McIver’s Ladies Baths dates back to 1880s for female-only ocean pool swimming experiences.

As people have been forced to stay indoors due to COVID-19 pandemic, ocean pools have been increasingly sought-after as an activity outlet. Now that it appears to be winding down, there have been calls for additional outdoor pools to take advantage of Sydney Harbour and sunny climate.

Concrete stands out as being both durable and versatile – qualities which make it the ideal material for swimming pools. Furthermore, its design flexibility allows for inclusion of features and finishes such as fountains, waterfalls, lighting options and personalisation options for added personalisation options. A concrete pool allows endless opportunities for individual expression whether your preference lies with minimalistism or luxuriousness!

Water is an incredible substance; it can heal, soothe, boost moods, aid circulation, relieve stress and stimulate immunity – to name but a few benefits! Yet it should not be forgotten that it can also etch, calcify, stain, bleach or destroy pool surfaces if left uncovered, making regular pool maintenance vital in extending its lifetime and enjoying your investment for as long as possible. A well-kept pool will only give you more joy out of swimming pool ownership!
