Sydney is well known for its beaches, but there are also an impressive collection of stunning pools throughout Sydney that stand out. While some – like MacCallum Pool at Cremorne Point – remain safe harbour swimming holes today, others were built more for aesthetics or socialising than safety and some provide health benefits that few others offer. This book, featuring contributions from novelist Christos Tsiolkas and fashion designers Romance Was Born as well as environmentalist Tim Flannery explores the role of pools in Australian life and explores their importance within Australian society today.
While a pool’s architecture may appear to be all about shape and size, its true value lies in how people experience it. To assess this further, the authors visited various Sydney pools and asked their residents what the pools meant to them; their responses ranged from childhood memories, sense of community, to feeling at one with nature.
So this book is filled with stories as well as photographs that explore Sydney’s beloved waterside locations – some are small such as Curl Curl Beach’s Rockpool; while other Sydney landmarks such as Bondi Baths and Icebergs make their mark.
