The Best Sydney Pools by the Hour

Sydneysiders find comfort in water. Be it running a bath, swimming in the sea, or taking a dip at their local pool – water has always provided us with comforting solace. It makes us feel at ease, relaxed and at home.

Sydney is blessed with an abundance of urban public pools, from sleek infinity pools with harbour views to shady Sardinian-inspired terraces in Newport and magical bush-shrouded saltwater pools hidden away in Maroubra’s greenery. If you want a day poolside with friends and family members at maximum volume then consider booking one privately using Swimply app – there are over 130 Sydney pools you can reserve by the hour without much fuss!

Swimply pool aggregator has been helping Australians find their ideal pool oasis for nearly two years and has quickly become Australia’s go-to pool marketplace. Established by former media executive Andrew Boy Charlton, it matches owners looking to earn extra cash with swimmers looking for fun times in their backyard pool – with users being able to search by pool size, location and features like pet-friendliness or waterslide compatibility – much like Airbnb for pools! Since launching in 2019, Swimply has amassed an inventory of more than 100 Sydney pools available by hour booking at $30-$90 an hour!

Ocean pools were first constructed on NSW beaches by men’s and women’s swimming clubs during the late 19th century as recreational and competitive swimming holes away from surf, dangerous sharks and transportation costs. Along with offering protection, ocean pools also helped swimmers save money by eliminating transportation needs to the city’s many inland swimming pools. Today there are more than 100 hand-made ocean pools along its coastline; among these can be found some spectacular ones nestled into exposed rocky outcrops on Maroubra, Curl Curl and Whale Beach amongst these places!

Commandant Morisset had his own private pool, but many other Sydney beach pool are open to the general public and part of Sydney beach culture as much as sand and surf. Mahon Pool, for instance, is an intertidal pool set against Pacific swell that’s popular among members of Sydney’s toughest swimming club; they must show up every Sunday through winter to show their worth and complete one full lap despite harsh conditions.

This pool is open Memorial Day through Labor Day and features a 295 foot spiral slide and speed slide for those feeling particularly daring. There are designated swimming areas for small children as well as a large picnic area onsite – with fully trained life guards always on duty to supervise!
