Pools can be seen as luxurious features that add aesthetic value to a property, yet also increase resale value and offer water-based exercise – especially beneficial for people suffering joint or mobility problems. When making the decision to install one on your own property in Sydney it is essential that all potential costs and benefits are carefully considered, including compliance with safety regulations and fencing requirements.

The Canterbury pool is an iconic feature of Sydney suburbia – beloved by both residents and staff for its intoxicating aroma of chlorine, heartwarming community events and carefree days spent splashing about with friends. Yet its future is in jeopardy due to financial challenges as well as concerns that closure might hinder local government elections.

Fashion week shows, production companies and private parties may use the pool in an attempt to recover some of its $70 million cost – all outside its usual scope – but this idea has met resistance from councillors and local residents, particularly Tink Baker who represents her ward as both councillor and independent federal MP. She states that its scope has grown out of control from being “reasonably straightforward renovation” into becoming “bloated vanity project.”

Ocean pools first appeared along Sydney’s coastal region in the late 1800s, providing year-round recreational and learn-to-swim venues. Club swimming carnivals and innovative coaching programs helped develop postwar Olympic swimmers; nevertheless, pools primarily served recreational uses; they were especially popular with country children visiting Stewart House Preventorium or participating in social tourism programs.

At its height, ocean pools were an oasis for bathers seeking sustenance – offering fish sandwiches and coffee from nearby cafes, as well as walking across lawns to access beach swims at high tide.

The Sydney is the ideal backyard pool choice, featuring enough seating capacity for 6-8 swimmers to provide optimal enjoyment for entertaining guests in style. Furthermore, its efficient water and electricity usage makes the Sydney extremely cost-effective to operate.
