Andrew (Boy) Charlton Pool

ABC pool- I had a lovely swim here this morning, apparently it’s one of the best public pool locations in Sydney.
The outdoor 50m pool has lanes to suit every level of swimmer - slow to fast. It’s a saltwater pool so no chlorine smell which is really nice and the salt helps with buoyancy, water depth from 1.2m-2m. The 20m leisure pool has shaded and is perfect for chilling out. Tuition with VLAD is available too!
The cafe is a good place to chill after some laps. Changing rooms are great - plenty of bench space and showers although a couple didn’t have shower gel/cream. I’ll definitely come here again soon.

By far one of the best pools
In Sydney… the view alone, the location adds a level of seclusion and peace. With a great cafe on site, it’s has almost everything you can want.

Great pool in the CBD and reasonably priced. It’s saltwater so you won’t smell like chlorine and has a decently sized changeroom with shower facilities. Perfect place to visit especially on sunny Summer days.

This place is the kahuna children saltwater pool right next to the warships this place is more than atmospheric I am without speech or write type right now you have to go there my children

One of the best public pool locations in Sydney and the facilities are

The bleachers offer a great view of the pools and also Garden Island and the harbour.

Best pool in Australia. Heated salt water pool with great showers and always parking. Right next to ANSW and The Domain Park

Love swimming here. Outdoor 50m pool. Usually very busy but sometimes at night you might score a lane to yourself before closing. Salt water pool so you won't smell like chlorine all day, but take a water bottle as you'll be parched!

Wish it stayed open through winter but it would be super cold.

Pool was nice. I wanted to pay cash and the lady working there got annoyed because I didn’t have my card with me. I shouldn’t have to explain that cash is perfectly legal plus she had enough change …

It's a relaxed vibe at the pools, set down on the shore of park; some nice views of sea including big old navy ships.

Fantastic salt/sea water pool that is reasonably priced and has friendly staff. The change room/shower facilities are great as well. Perfect place to start your day in Summer.

Located right next to the botanical garden this is one of the most scenic water front swimming pool in Sydney. The pool is filled with chlorinated salt water and while it is crystal clear I find it a bit harsh on the nose and tongue. Not a big deal though. Plenty of deck areas for sunbathers, including deck chairs. Scooter and bicycle parking outside the venue but car parking is expensive and sometimes in high demand. This may change but the pool is never too crowded.

Beautiful saltwater pool in a picturesque location with a beautiful view of the harbor. May be one of the most beautiful pools and locations for a pool in Sydney. Perfect if you walk or take public transport, however parking is exorbitant and not friendly, with rangers roaming around regularly. Parking is $9 an hour and you have to park outside in the Royal botanic gardens.

Superb location, especially on a nice day. Good simple food. If you want to show off Sydney at its finest, this is a good place to start.

Great 50m pool, close to CBD - salt water based. Lanes divided up for slow, medium and fast paced swimmers.

Best pool in the entire world!
Lovely place to exercise over the weekend to disconnect and recharge yourself!
Expectacular view and comfortable facilities.
Friendly staff always willing to help.
There's also a nice coffee shop for either breakfast and lunch as well as for a quick snack.
A truly hidden gem of the city.

Why isn't this pool open all year? It's picture perfect, water temp is fabulous and this isn't a city that gets particularly cold. The cafe was delicious, too

Has to be the best pool in Sydney.
Good pools, lifeguards always on watch great views of navy fleet base.
Pools are clean, well priced at $7.50 and good change facilities.

A lovely 50m pool in a nice location, good facilities, a cafe and the price was very reasonable. The covid policy of not sitting by the pool was a bit extreme however. I understand that it is swim and leave but having been swimming lengths for an hour it would have been preferable to sit for 5 minutes to relax afterwards.

Swimming pool with water views. Still open during quarantine for swimming only (no sun bathing).

Outdoor pool. Lose to the Sydney CBD, a tad east. Great location, amazing views and not too busy to get a good workout in as well.

Pool comes with all the facilities. Lifeguards and everything you need for a full and safe experience.

Highly recommended.
