When you live in Sydney, it's not a problem to find a place to swim close to where you live. This is a nice thing, knowing that with 41 degrees it's today the hottest day in four years!
This morning we discovered the Northbridge Baths, a five minute drive from our house. It's an extremely kids friendly pool for swim fanatics. We were kindly reminded by one of that dads that it's better for the kids to wear the Australian long sleeve swim shirt because 'the sun in Europe is different'. I was already chasing the kids with sunscreen lotion but that's clearly not sufficient.
The pool is made in a beautiful bay surrounded by hills and lot's of green. It has a shallow area for kids and there is a more serious swimming area for adults where you can do laps. The day clearly starts very early at the Northbridge baths. On the notice board I read that the 'senior swim squad' starts at 6 a.m.!
To Sebastiaan's excitement a lot of fish swim around in the pool. Fishing - unfortunately - is not allowed. A special activity is kayak fitness. Wondering what that is like.
What else do you need? Ah, I forgot to mention that they do serve great cappuccino's.
