Swimming Hole Heaven in Southern NSW (inland)
Your guide to the best swimming holes


 
Swimming holes in southern inland New South Wales (west of the Great Dividing Range) include several spots along the River Murray and a warm spring south of Canberra. I have personally swum at all of these spots, where it was legal to do so.

Too cold for a swim? Visit a waterfall

Waterfall Seasons - The Waterfall Guide My companion website Waterfall Seasons - The Waterfall Guide lists all of the waterfalls that I have visited during my search for swimming holes. You can swim at some of them, but most are just for viewing and admiring. Great for a day trip when it's too chilly to get into the water.
