North Sydney Olympic Pool

Fantastic experience: This is one of my favourite pools in Sydney, mostly because of the prime location right under Sydney Harbour Bridge. The water is VERY salty, so make sure you don't wear any jewellery or it will tarnish (learned that the hard way). The change rooms are basic, but very large, with lockers to store your clothes while you swim. Don't forget to buy a shower token when you enter so you can enjoy a warm shower at the end!

Fantastic experience: Learnt to swim here 70 years ago.A wonderful place for kids in those days. The diving platform isn't there now, however it was great to jump and dive ftom.Great memories. .

Fantastic experience: Good memories of this pool. Man what a view. Cant wait for the finish date.

Fantastic experience: Nice clean pool, a lot of nearby food shops and dining areas. Amazing view over the harbour and in great location.

Fantastic experience: Nice clean pool, a lot of nearby food shops and dining areas.

Fantastic experience: Awesome pool with fresh saltwater and a very nice reception lady

Fantastic experience: Love this pool. So glad it's open again

Fantastic experience: It doesn’t get much better than the North Sydney Olympic Pool when it comes to outdoor Olympic pools. Looking forward to coming back when it reopens again in 2 years time after the extensive renovations.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful. An must in Sydney. Its a local pool that anyone can enjoy. Swimming Pools Adult $8.50 Child (5yrs+ or attending primary/secondary school) $4.30

Fantastic experience: Amazing location and view You can’t beat a view like this and enjoying an outdoor refreshing swim.

Fantastic experience: Scenic AF.

Fantastic experience: The view rain or shine makes it all worth it!

Fantastic experience: Clean pool, with one of the best views in the world. Not too expensive, and worth every dollar! Goggles are a must. Really nice place for a swim!

Fantastic experience: My favourite pool in Sydney. Indoor and outdoor pool with beautiful view. They got spa, sauna, and gym too

Fantastic experience: Very nice place to visit. Pools are clean. It’s great to seim and do sports. Outstanding views to the Harbour Bridge. One of my favorite places to swim in. It’s also great to meet with friends. It’s very convenient location.

Fantastic experience: Perfect location

Fantastic experience: Large pool, with one of the best views in the world. The facilities are clean it's not too expensive given the location. Great place for a few laps!

Fantastic experience: Great pool by the bridge, what more could you ask for?

Fantastic experience: World's best Swimming Pool with the best view. Luna Park ticket gets free entry.

Fantastic experience: Extreamly good extremely rural pool. Good to know this rural Australian icon will be getting redeveloped. All us Aussie rural farmers are delighted. Not nearly as crowded or popular as those inner city pools with views of the harbour and the city. Nope this is truly rural.

Fantastic experience: So lucky to have an awesome pool like this in north sydney. Its so accessible and the pool is always well cleaned. Great place to enjoy and exercise

Fantastic experience: Excellent swimming pool for all kind of different speeds. Good access via public transport through Milson Point station. Other swimmers are kind and pick lanes according to their speed level. Can get crowded after 5pm though.

Fantastic experience: At 1pm I expected the pool to be crowded but had a (slow) lane mostly to myself. As others have said, the location is iconic, the buildings are heritage (and run down) and the water is salty and warm. Only two out of 9 lanes required continuous swimming. There’s a buzz of activity from the runners going by, the trains overhead, and the eateries which overlook the pool and which cater from snacks to fine dining.

Fantastic experience: It’s a great pool to visit if you haven’t been here before, the 50 m pool is old and efforts have been made to upgrade but it’s an old pool but it’s at an amazing location, views at dusk are incredible. There is also a modern indoor pool if it gets too cold/windy for some people.

Fantastic experience: Location and old school feel. I hope it never changes!

Fantastic experience: Perfect place for a guy like me who's into swimming. Great place, clean pool and cool staff. Everything's great!

Fantastic experience: Such an epic pool to swim in, still has the old late 1930's look, 50 metre pool kept at 25 degrees is salt water mixed with chloride. View of the bridge is absolutely stunning, don't think there is another Olympic size pool anywhere with a view like that. As a tourist a must visit if you like swimming, easy to walk the bridge after and visit the Rocks. -- Find my review helpful? Please click like / much appreciated --

Fantastic experience: Great pool! Accessible for everyone and not too expensive. Has one of my favourite views of the harbour bridge plus the staff were lovely. I highly recommend bringing goggles or buying some at the office there though because of the water. I mistakenly tried swimming without them and boy did I regret that. Beautiful place for a swim though!

Fantastic experience: I love this pool. Great location and facilities

Fantastic experience: I love North Sydney Olympic pool. It is always bright and the open air roofless feature is awesome. It is well managed with excellent lifeguards, clean amenities and excellent views of Sydney Harbour too. Great grand stand to view events from. Top parking available also.

Fantastic experience: Great place to stretch my bones and muscles! So much space to go around. They're consistently cleaning the pool and life guards always on duty. Great service

Fantastic experience: Amazing views, top pool and lovely lifeguards. Pleasure to swim here!

Fantastic experience: Amazing View, Amazing Pool, Amazing place. Half day must spend at least. Very easy to access thru Milson's Point Station. No car park, except on public streets. Cost for 1 hour is $5 and maximum2 hrs. Expensive restaurant inside. Close by beautiful park under Harbour Bridge. Near by Bar, Restaurants and eateries. Prices moderate. Make sure you ask for upstairs lockers NOT near the pool. Extra 0.50c for hot water.

Fantastic experience: I totally loved this pool! Amazing views and the water was fantastic. Other swimmers were considerate making it easy. No better place to do laps in than this

Fantastic experience: Really good value and worth a visit. For about $13 you can swim in two pools heated to 25 degrees, a saltwater pool outside and an indoor chlorinated one, as well as relax in a sauna and a spa (jacuzzi). The view is spectacular. Afterwards you can take a short walk through Luna Park to Wendy's Secret Garden and have an enjoyable afternoon.

Fantastic experience: really nice to swim in after a day in lunar park

Fantastic experience: Not many public pools have such a cool view. It's easy to do another length of backstroke when you're looking up at Sydney Harbour bridge in the sun. A large half salt / fresh water pool & small heated upstairs freshwater pool with jacuzzi and sauna. Non-members welcome worth a visit if you're a tourist that loves a swim.

Fantastic experience: Swimming pool complex with great views of the Sydney Harbor Bridge

Fantastic experience: The big outdoor pool is a saline pool, which has a different feel than chorine, and won't eat away at your swimsuit/pool gear. The lifesavers are professional and friendly. I was asked not to use paddles while swimming; I guess they've had people hit by them before, so they play it safe. To Americans: The swimming here is clockwise, not counter-clockwise, so stay left!

Fantastic experience: Great views and best pool in this area

Fantastic experience: Iconic pool with a view to the Sydney Harbour bridge and the Opera house.

Fantastic experience: Great pool and even better view of the harbour

Fantastic experience: An Australian classic. Right on Sydney Harbour, great view of the Bridge, big saltwater swimming pool. Love they've kept the original (daggy) feel.

Fantastic experience: The best place to keep fit and wind down. The pools, sauna, spa and Lane 9 Gymnasium facilities are excellent. The staff are always there to help and more.

Fantastic experience: I love this pool for what it is a 50m pool for lap swimming. The pool is perfect but facilities -such as the staircase- could do with a bit more maintenance. As a regular swimmer here I am concerned about the "upgrade plans" that are supposed to make this pool "more family friendly" with a slide an all that ..I hope it does not happen - this pool is world famous for its location and it should be kept what it is - a swimming pool - not a water park. I am hoping to get at least another year of lap swimming done here..

Fantastic experience: Amazing location for a swimming pool.

Fantastic experience: Perhaps my inputs a tad dated... lol But Awwwwwwwwwwwwww :D The wonderful childhood memories of riding the old 'Red Rattlers' from the Eastern Suburbs' across the Sydney Harbour Bridge on our way this this awesome icon of ours. Great times & around 40 years later I can only look back & smile at it all. Even remember having been there the day that Shane Gould was seen there. :D

Fantastic experience: The out door pool here has the most amazing views!

Fantastic experience: This is the swimming pool with the best views. It feel amazing looking up to the massive Sydney Harbour Bridge while laying in the pool.

Fantastic experience: Loved my swim at this iconic venue!

Fantastic experience: Love how salty the outside pool is, so floaty!
