North Sydney Olympic Pool

North Sydney Olympic Pool – Swim Amongst the Giants

Hey Sydney Siders! What an awesome Friday afternoon!

Nestled right under the harbour bridge lies an aquatic centre that is sure to make you feel small again. Located in North Sydney just a few minutes walk from Milsons Point train station and bordering the famous Luna Park, North Sydney Pool has sweeping views of the harbour with the Sydney CBD in the background.


The centre boasts an outdoor 50m Olympic sized swimming pool and an indoor 25m pool for those who want to be sheltered from the elements. The views of the bridge and the harbour are both visible in each pool, perfect motivation to swim laps or relax and enjoy the scenery. For an additional cost you can access spa/sauna facilities, showers and the gym.


I was able to enjoy the 50m pool, the main attraction. The facility was clean and well appointed with lap signs for lap speed. The water used in the pool seemed to be collected from the harbour itself and thus a strong taste of salt is apparent, in addition to chlorine, making it a slightly different experience to your usual aquatic centre in Sydney, nevertheless it was still an enjoyable experience.

Stay tuned Sydney Siders! :)
