Ocean swimming pools ...


Since I'm lucky enough to be living in Manly for 5 months of the year, I feel like it's important to take advantage of the beautiful location.  I'm not really a beach kind of girl, but I'm learning to love it.  One of my favourite discoveries in Manly has been the ocean swimming pools that are generally found at most beaches.  The one pictured is at the Queenscliff end of Manly beach and it's where you'll find me a couple of evenings a week and over the weekend.  Swimming laps of breaststroke while doing a spot of people watching is the best way to spend a non-intense exercise session.  It's also fun watching the kids hang off the railing at the end of the pool and get hammered by the waves that come crashing into the pool on a wild day.  I only have 7 weeks till I go back to Canada, where I'll be taking advantage of the mountains, but until there, it's all about sun, sand and surf.
