Its million-dollar location is the icing on the cake for this outdoor Olympic-sized swimming pool – it really is one of the best swimming pools in Sydney. Positioned below the north side of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, these nine-lanes are home ground to many Olympic athletes and though the grandstand to one side and limited decked area doesn’t offer a huge amount of poolside lazing potential, the location, and the chance to swim 100 metres without turning, makes it a firm favourite for serious freestylers.
