When we got there, the swimming lesson coordinator lady asked us to do the paperwork in which we were asked to pay the full semester fee without even being assessed to see if she can move up to the next level. Before even given the chance to explain that we are here for the assessment test, she lashed out at us and yelled that it's the only time available and you need to take it or not because we have a long waiting list. This kind of behaviour under any circumstances is not acceptable. We don't know if they treat adults like this, how they treat our kids in the water. We left and decided never go back to leave our daughter in their hand.

Clean, friendly helpful staff and a fab choice of three pools…read more I attended the premises in the afternoon with my son who is under two and as we had arrived at an off peak time our swim was only $2.20! The toddler pool has a cover with four fountains and the depth is just right for toddlers. We will def be going back, a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon!

Bath is in between Coogee beach and Wiley's bath. Definitely a woman's sanctuary and I love it here. Be mindful of the unofficial rules of no floaties and trying to steer clear of ladies doing laps

What's up summer!…read more Blow past the burning sands of Coogee Beach - with its packs of marauding seagulls and a vast purgatory of tourists - and head up the grassy hill on the north side of the beach. Follow the path past the shrine where a Brazilian saw a vision of the Blessed Virgin (actually a thing) until you hit the ye Olde England-style arch that proudly declares "baths." Then it's a skip down the cliff to a lovely clear rockpool that will be either preternaturally calm or manageably rough-n-tumble depending on the swell. Stretch out on the rocks like a cat. Duck down 'neath the water and caress the mossy bottom. Find the secret cave. Laugh at that girl with the selfie stick doing duckface. Then toddle back along the path to Coogee Pavilion for some well-earned beers.

These baths are much less crowded than Bronte Baths and the nearby Coogee Beach. It's also a more…read morenatural-looking rock pool, but since its mouth opens directly to the ocean, I'd say to be smart and don't linger too close to the edge! Before the stairs going down to the baths are toilets/facilities so that's not lost either. These baths are reminiscent of Makapu'u Tidepools back home in Hawai'i, but much less crowded. Love it.
