4 Tips on going and 4 surprises!nnPreamble: This was the first thing on my to-do list when we came to Sydney. I am a water baby. I feel so comfortable in the water, and I take every opportunity to jump into a pool or the ocean.nnSurprise 1: Parts of the pool were roped off with no admittance. I was really confused by this, because the waves that were coming into the roped-off area were the same level of waves that were crashing into other parts of the pool. I’m sure it was for safety purposes. They lifted the rope, and the conditions did not seem changed at all, but hey. ...that’s what lifeguards are for. It’s their judgment.nnSurprise 2: So many people were doing laps in the lane that was closest to the ocean! I would think if they wanted to do laps that they would be in lanes that would not be pummeled by waves, and this made it difficult to take a leisurely swim. I love laps, and I did some laps, but I also wanted to float and look out at the ocean, and with people doing laps, it was hard to do that.nnSurprise 3: I knew the water would be cold, and I have certainly had colder situations, as we swim in mountain springs, which is a glacial runoff. But I didn’t expect it to be quite as cold as it was. We don’t spend enough time in cold water. It is so good for our bodies!nnSurprise 4: I knew that the water abutted the ocean, and I expected to have the opportunity for waves coming into the pool, but not as beautifully as they did. We have some wonderful photos of a wave breaking over my head. In fact, one of them knocked my sunglasses off, when I was in the pool. The combination of that exhilaration plus the cold water created such a body buzz that I was so thrilled to be able to participate in this pool.nnTips:n1. Bring swimwear. Bring swim caps, if you use them. Bring your own towels. They can sell these things, but they are expensive.nn2. I paid for a locker, because I did not know that you could use a locker without paying for them; at the YMCA, where I go in my hometown, everybody just uses the lockers whether they pay for them or not. And it’s a trust system. Nobody messes with your stuff. Here, I paid for the locker, which felt a bit foolish, because so many people were just shoving their things into lockers and not paying for them. But I get it... I don’t know the people in the situation, although, my goodness everything seems so safe and wonderful in Sydney, so I was probably totally fine without paying for a lock! They also give you a bracelet with your key, but you have to remember your number. The number is not written on the key or on the bracelet anywhere, which is a bit unusual. When you go to spas, the number of the lock is written on the bracelet or the key. So if you forget your lock number, you're in a little bit of trouble. So write it down!nn3. When you arrive, try to find a place that is outside and facing the pool and ocean. There are two tiers. I was surprised that so many people were on the sunbathing deck, because they can look at the ocean, but they cannot watch the pool and ocean. We opted for the lower deck, which also contains the pool. There are no lounge chairs. There is simply white concrete, built into the pool area. Yes, it’s fun to watch the ocean on the sunbathing deck, but so much more fun to watch the people get into the pool and discover the shock of how cold it is and also take photos of themselves with their partners. It’s great people-watching. You can also clearly see the surfers from the lower level near the pool. So that seems to be a much better spot for surfer-gazing and people-gazing and pool-gazing.nn4. It was quite crowded when we arrived, but at about 3 o’clock, everything started to open up. The waves also started to die down, so it wasn’t as much fun to swim in it, but a lot of people vacated the pool area. Perhaps they were going for early cocktails? Or an early dinner? I was surprised at how many people left around 3 PM.
