History

Set on the harbour edge at Cremorne Point, MacCallum Pool now has picture-perfect views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House, but it was built well before their time, starting as a simple rock pool in the early 1900s. The original pool was built by Australia's first Olympic swimming champion Fred Lane, who won two races in the 1900 Olympics in Paris back before they had gold, silver and bronze medals. The pool is named after Hugh MacCallum, who led the local community in raising money for its development in the 1920s and created the pool that we still swim in today.

Water temperature by month

Much the same right along this stretch of the Sydney coast. Approximate — the water runs about a season behind the air.

Jan 22–23°C
Feb 23–24°C
Mar 23–24°C
Apr 22°C
May 20°C
Jun 19°C
Jul 18°C
Aug 18°C
Sep 18–19°C
Oct 19°C
Nov 20–21°C
Dec 21–22°C

Approximate. Sources disagree by a degree or two. The water lags the air by about a season, so autumn stays warm after the crowds leave and spring stays cold after summer seems to have started.
