There is nowhere quite like it. With the Sydney Harbour Bridge as your backdrop and 50 metres of open water ahead, every lap at North Sydney Olympic Pool is a reminder of why this place is extraordinary.
First opened in 1936, North Sydney Pool has hosted Olympic trials, world record swims and generations of community swimmers who simply love the water. The heritage-listed facility sits proudly on the shores of Sydney Harbour, offering an experience that no indoor pool can replicate.
The Pool Itself
Our outdoor 50-metre Olympic pool is heated year-round and lane-marked for serious lap swimming. The 10-lane configuration means there is always space — whether you are here for a casual swim before work or deep into squad training.
Adjacent to the main pool, the teaching pool and leisure areas provide a gentler space for families, casual swimmers and our Lil’ Legends program participants.
Why Members Keep Coming Back
Ask any regular and the answer is the same: the view, the community and the sense of tradition. There is a quiet pride in swimming in a pool that has witnessed so much history.
Whether you are a first-time visitor or a long-time local, we hope the pool becomes part of your routine.
