North Sydney Olympic Pool

The North Sydney Olympic Pool is a swimming and exercise complex located adjacent to Sydney Harbour at Milsons Point in North Sydney between the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Luna Park.[1] The art deco-styled Olympic-sized outdoor pool was built on part of the Dorman Long workshops site following the completion of the Harbour Bridge. The pool opened 4 April 1936 and hosted the swimming and diving events for the 1938 Empire Games.[2] Heating was added in 2000 and a 25m indoor pool was added in 2001.[3]

The venue is operated by the local North Sydney Council, providing public access to the two pools, a gym, and a sauna and spa.
