Sydney places to swim besides the beach: Six of the best freshwater swimming spots


Ready to cool off? Sydney's beaches may be world famous but they are not the only place to take the plunge. Try one of these inland swims and experience a fresh way to get wet. From sandy river beaches to bush-shaded waterholes and soaring sandstone gorges, these freshwater favourites offer a deliciously different way to get in the swim.
LAP IT UP: KARLOO POOLS
From Wattamolla to Burning Palms, the Royal National Park is known for its beaches, but those aren't its only inviting swim spots. We love the pretty Karloo Pools for several reasons, not least the fact that you don't need a car to get here. Take the train to Heathcote Station where you can join the Karloo Walking Track– the turn-off to the pools is about halfway along the track, four kilometres or so from the station. Surrounded by rock ledges and fed by a gently-trickling stream, the clear green water is amazingly inviting. The largest pool is big enough to do a few laps in.
