Sunbaking... swimming... yoga... a morning coffee... teaching the kids to swim... I love this pool!
I learnt to swim in this saltwater pool. When I grew up a little, I used the 50m pool for laps... training for my Bronze Medallion and the Surf Club. As the surf club (and full piece swimsuits) became less of my scene... the Icebergs was a great place to hang out with friends... feeling free and reckless (but safe enough for my mother not to stress). Major renovations and adulthood made the bar and restaurant a great place to hang out... and these days, I love an early morning Yoga by the Sea session, some laps and a long lay in the sun with a coffee and magazine...
The Icebergs has given me a lifetime of great experiences. It's a place that everyone can enjoy... young, old, fat, thin, local, visitor, athletes and those who still need floaties...
For as long as I can remember, it's been closed for cleaning on Thursdays (and often a little too seaweedy for my liking on Wednesdays) and Saturday mornings are pretty busy with swim clubs and lessons.
Entry is reasonable and facilities are great - clean bathrooms, showers, sauna, gym, massage (although not all these amenities are included in your entry).
The stairs down to the pool can be a little scary if you're carrying a squirming child... but otherwise it's a great place for kids. If kids aren't your scene, there's plenty of space away from the "baby pool" to stretch out in peace (along with the occasional celeb/model) and a nice little cafe for food/drink.
I look forward to all the experiences I'm yet to have at the Icebergs... hopefully I'll be one of the old ladies in a funky swimming cap, doing super-slow breast stroke in the future...
