A beautiful backyard pool can be an oasis for relaxation and fun, but it can also add value to your home. That’s why you should work with a reputable contractor that can help you choose the best swimming pool design and layout for your property. Sydney pool builders have extensive knowledge about pools and can assist you in planning your pool, as well as organising the finishing touches like fencing, paving and heating. These builders are also qualified to carry out pool renovations and remodelling, and can provide you with an excellent finish.
With an enduring appeal, swimming pools are the centrepiece of many homes and are a great way to increase the usability and value of your outdoor space. Swimming is a favourite recreational activity for Australians and is used for sport, exercise, rehabilitation and relaxation. There are 333m visits to public pools in Australia every year. Public pools are not only a place for recreation and fitness, but are important community spaces where people can feel connected and supported. They can offer a safe environment for families and children, and are also often used by people who find it difficult to go out into the surf or who live alone.
The iconic ocean pools of Sydney are the best-known public pools in Australia. Often built into cliffs and with stunning coastal views, they are a spectacular place to swim. Whether you’re at Bondi Icebergs for the winter swim, or McIver’s Ladies Baths in Coogee, you can take in the sea views and spot swimmers of all ages. In summer, head to Coogee Beach for Wylie’s Baths, a tidal pool founded by champion long distance swimmer Henry Alexander Wylie in 1907.
For those not comfortable taking the plunge in the pounding surf, you can head to one of Sydney’s stunning inland pools. The sand-filled pools offer calm waters, shade and a protected area for people who want to enjoy the water without the risk of riptides and sharks. They are often popular amongst parents who want to swim with their young children. They can also be an important source of socialisation for older adults and women who are unable to go out into the open beach.
Despite their beauty and popularity, many ocean pools are in need of repair and renovation. At the Bilgola beach pool, campaigners have been attempting to secure funding to replace the aged concrete walls. Their concern is that the early 20th century willingness to dynamite rocks and destroy habitats would not pass environmental tests now, but at Fairy Bower marine conservation park in Manly, scientists are trying to reclaim some of those lost homes for the tiny creatures that wash into and out of the tidal pool.
