A great all-rounder in Forster, not only for long lap swimming, but also for playing around in the shallows or for snorkelling along the barnacle-covered
back wall that is home to various small fish that have made their way into the pool…
A 50 metre pool in the Wallis Lake estuary, this tidal pool has a narrow strip of deeper water for swimming laps, with the added bonus of an
over-water cafe next door and a jetty all around the pool. Mainly for lap swimming rather than snorkelling…
Head into the trenches with surf exploding overhead in this sandy channel, behind a line of jagged rocks that run parallel to the beach. Best for swimming at low
tide, protected from the wind, when the seas are calmer, as it can get pretty rough when the tide is in and when there is a large swell…
Not your traditional rock pool, this netted swimming enclosure in between breakwater walls is an excellent option for an early morning swim and
post-swim coffee or breakfast at the rock pool cafe. Expect a large audience of passers-by watching your stroke technique…
Each swimming spot includes a link to swimming safety information. Please make sure you read that information before you head out, particularly if you are an inexperienced swimmer.
