Make a Splash: Bayside’s Best Outdoor Pools for Summer
When those tough 40°+ days hit, we all long for a place to cool off. Aside from the stunning beaches, the Bayside area benefits from some top outdoor pools and public baths, which make for a great family day out. C&G have sourced the top four Bayside pools for you to enjoy this summer.
Grab the kids, a great book and a towel, and head to one of our favourite Bayside pools for a summer cool-down.
Located just off Chapel Street, Prahran Aquatic Centre welcomes swimmers of all abilities to their 50m heated outdoor pool. With plenty of relaxing space and a separate children’s pool, it’s ideal for social groups, families and fitness fanatics alike.
If you want to enjoy the rest and relaxation of being on holiday the gym, steam room and sauna and 50m outdoor pool at Brighton Baths is the place to do it. With an unrivalled beach view and a balcony café and bar, it’s the best place in Bayside to chill-out or work-out.
Nestled in Glen Iris, the Harold Holt Swim Centre boasts a large 25m indoor pool and a 50m outdoor pool. Both heated, there’s no excuse to skip your workout this summer. You can then relax in the large shaded area and enjoy the summer evenings. Open until early evening.
While not fully outdoor, St Kilda Sea Bath’s al fresco open balcony salt water pool is the ideal middle ground. Enjoy beach views and fresh salt water, and unwind at the on-site restaurants and bars post-swim.
