Swimming Pools – A Staple of Life in Sydney
Swimming pools are an integral part of life in Sydney. Not only can having one in your backyard add value to the property if and when it comes time to sell it later, but swimming pools provide an enjoyable way to unwind, unwind and connect with family and friends while staying fit and healthy!
Although most Australians live within 20 minutes of a public aquatic centre, access isn’t evenly distributed according to population; some areas remain underserved. For instance, in Sydney’s western suburbs – council areas such as Parramatta, Blacktown and Penrith – there are approximately 134,000 residents per public aquatic centre, whereas inner city suburbs like Randwick and Mosman only see approximately 14,000 per public aquatic centre.
Ocean pools are an integral feature of Australia’s landscape, reflecting Aboriginal traditions of “bogey holes.” New South Wales continues this practice at iconic pools like Bondi Icebergs Pool which has been described both as beautiful and dangerous by swimmers who must navigate treacherous waves to swim safely in its waters.
Even with its inherent risks, Sydney-area and Australian swimmers still frequent ocean pools for recreational swimming. These pools, often built into headlands, contain tidal ocean water and allow people to experience swimming in the sea without needing to be strong swimmers themselves. These locations are popular with families and early morning visitors may spot swim teams practicing before going back to work.
In the past, pools were often cleared by blasting rock away to create a more inviting swimming environment for swimmers; however, these early practices would no longer meet modern environmental standards. At Bilgola’s ocean pool for instance, jellyfish have washed into its waters while sharks have been seen swimming near shore. Scientists are working hard to address this issue at other sites like Fairy Bower near Cabbage Tree Bay in Manly where Fairy Bower near Cabbage Tree Bay has recreated homes for small creatures displaced by pool walls by creating artificial walls with concrete walls that create artificial walls between itself and Cabbage Tree Bay – another site in Manly where scientists have recreated homes for creatures left homeless due to concrete walls created by pools’ walls being enclosed within concrete walls encasing them off from nature’s bounty.
Swimming pools provide an invaluable space for socializing, exercising, and garden design – they should be carefully maintained as an asset of any Sydney home and should always meet the highest standard.
