I spent Sat walking miles and miles throughout Sydney, finding two great pools: Boy Charlton on the bay edge of the Botanical Gardens, a 50m outdoor pool, open daily tot he public; and the new Ian Thorpe Aquatic Center. I had to swim there, so i did an easy 2000m for a post-meet/post-season recovery swim. Great place, highly recommend it. Would also be funt to try the Boy Charlton, Chuck and Tom, when you go through Sydney.
Rather than take a tourist trap boat cruise, take the ferry from Circular Quay to Manly Beach - you'll see the city from the water coming and going, and can check out the Pacific Ocean at Surfer Beach at Manly. I also got a quick 50m swim in the Pacific (within the shark net enclosure!), so i have now swum on both sides of this continent - in the Indian and the Pacific Oceans - and have also now swum on both sides of the Pacific!
Got to run for my plane to Singapore - an 8 hour flight. Ug!
See you in Manhattan Beach!

Manly Beach is where board surfing started. The "Duke" was there in 1915.
