Bondi Icebergs Swimming Pool

For those who may be familiar with this blog, I’ve been on a mission the past few years to photograph 100 Rock Pools.

So it would be remiss of me to not include the super famous Bondi Icebergs Pool.

So for the vast popularity of the awesome pool I have named this as number 1 in my quest for 100. More on the Pools of the Sea project here https://chasinglight.photo.blog/2021/07/10/pools-of-the-sea/

So here this the iconic and Instagram famous pool. The Bondi Icebergs Pool.

The name iceberg come from the original group of swimmers in the region who swam under the name Bondi Icbergs. And when the Bondi building was renovated we now see the famous pool in all of its glory.

It’s just a beautiful pool to look at and photograph, and from all reports it’s the most photographed pool in Australia and it would have to be up there in the world as well.

Besides being on the edge of the famous Bondi beach, the shapes and the lines really make for a picturesque scene.

The water also looks amazing as the lighter tone of the pool really contrasts to the darker blue of the ocean. And with the white boarder surrounding the pool it is almost as if the designers were a photography fan themselves.

It’s hard to take a bad picture of the beautiful Bondi pool, but I’d have to say the angle from the southern end looking down from the pathway is pretty awesome as shown below.

Not to mention the many great pictures taken from above as you have probably seen. I’d love to shoot an aerial view myself one. I’ll add that to the list.

Located only 30 minutes from the Sydney CBD, Bondi and its famous pool is definitely worth the trip if your looking for things to do or photograph in Sydney. If you’re a visitor to Sydney or just haven’t made the trip yet as a Sydney local, then you really need to check out Bondi Iceberg Pools.

I’ll be back to photograph this beautiful pool many more times before I’m finished and I’d recommend any photography lovers out there to check it out too. A few more of my favourites from Bondi here too https://chasinglight.photo.blog/2020/12/21/beautiful-bondi-beach/

Til next time!
