Possibly the most spectacular pool in the world: Bondi Icebergs, Sydney, Australia

Best seen large. The Bondi Icebergs swimming pool must be one of the most spectacular places to swim in the world. Wave after wave come crashing in on the side of the pool, while swimmers can have a relaxed swim in the sheltered water . The views on the well-known Bondi Beach are stunning as well, since hundreds of surfers can be seen riding the huge waves of the Pacific Ocean.

 

The pool is also home to a Swimming Club, founded in 1929. Its origins stem from the desire of a band of dedicated local lifesavers who wished to maintain their fitness during the winter months, hence the name 'Icebergs'.
