Viva la piscina del océano! The iconic, ever popular Continental Pool between the harbour and North Wollongong. This very well maintained complex has a 50m pool and a 45m pool side by side, parallel to the ocean. There is also a toddler’s pool. Lots of concrete to lay out on and warm up and a big mix of people. Very continental!
The 45m pool has a ramp entry for people with limited mobility, and a long ramp takes you from the promenade to the entrance.

This is one of the most consistently clean saltwater pools on the list, and gets very popular in warm weather.
The water is pumped in straight from the ocean, and is unheated, but is generally between 19 and 25 degrees in the warmer months.

They have rather pokey change rooms and the showers are cold. But public wifi is available here!

The Continental is fun to visit as part of a ‘Blue Mile’ adventure. Come by bike or board and swim at the harbour and the ‘Men’s Baths’ tidal rock pool!

Located off Cliff Rd, North Wollongong. Parking can be tricky as ‘The Blue Mile’ is a very busy strip. Most people park on the street and walk (sometimes a long walk) This pool is definitely accessible by public transport.

Entry is FREE !
