We used to have all our swimming carnivals at this place, all through my primary and high school…read moreyears. Nothing changed in the main pool area in about ten years, perhaps except the toddler's pool has a cool little sail on top (but that was still years ago). They also have a training pool where we used to hold all our novelty events, and of course an Olympic pool which is 50m in length, and 8 lanes across. The place isn't all that big but it is outdoors so you get none of that sickly humidifying chlorine bleach smell everywhere. Of course you will once you enter the pools or even their new spa and sauna area.

A new development to the Bexley Swimming Pools is the small gym run by the YMCA Sydney. Behind the…read moresmall kiosk/office is a room about 10 metres long and 5 metres wide with a range of exercise machines, yoga mats, medicine balls, TV and weights. I love how the place is small, local and quiet. The exercise machines are all brand new and not second-rate and rusting. The only problem is I couldn't see any air-conditioning... Single entry a time will only cost $7 and membership is really inexpensive, costing only $12.50 a week. It also includes a complimentary gym towel and water bottle, gym classes, access to other YMCA facilities (conditions apply), and best of all, there's no contract.
