Laps with a view? Yes, please! 😍🌊
The Continental Pool is the perfect place for a few morning laps, a saltwater splash, or just soaking up those ocean views. With 50-metre and 45-metre pools (plus one for the little swimmers), it’s a local fave for a reason!
Find it along the Blue Mile, right between Wollongong Harbour and North Wollongong Beach.
