Among Sydney’s Dy Pools
When it comes to building swimming pools, there are many different options available. Some of the most popular are concrete, vinyl liner and fibreglass pools. Each option has its own set of benefits and drawbacks, but the type of pool you choose will ultimately come down to your budget and desired features.
When choosing a pool, it is important to think about the size and shape of the pool. Often, smaller pools will be more affordable, while larger pools will have a higher price tag. Additionally, small pools tend to require less maintenance and upkeep than larger pools. However, this may not always be the case, and it is important to speak with a professional to determine which option is best for you.

Among the more unusual of Sydney’s sdy pools is this corrugated iron and painted cream and green pool, tucked away below the sandstone cliffs on Balmain’s northern beaches. Reached along the promenade linking Manly and Shelly Beaches on the Cabbage Tree Bay Eco Sculpture Walk, this pool hasn’t changed much since it was built by local residents in 1929. It has a rough-hewn edge adjoining the beach, which makes it easy to access from the water, and it’s also close to the ocean so that swimmers can go for a swim when they’re ready.
Another feature of this pool that’s a little different from its counterparts is the Sea Nymphs sculpture. This figure, carved from granite, is located on the pool’s outer edge and has been a fixture here for more than 60 years.
As a result, the pool has acquired a reputation for being a bit shabby and old-fashioned, but not all locals are unhappy with the state of the pool. Chris Bowden, 39, who lives nearby, says that he loves the “shabby” look of the pool and its long history by Sydney standards.
While he acknowledges the financial burden of the pool, he hopes that charging to host fashion shows, production companies and private parties – far outside the usual remit of a public pool – will help cover costs. Ultimately, though, he believes the pool is an asset that should be maintained for its historical value and as a community asset. If that’s the case, he wants to see the pool open by late 2024 or early 2025 at the latest. He hopes that a speedy opening can be achieved through careful planning and a willingness to make compromises where necessary.
