Maccallum Pool, on the western side of Cremorne Point, is a unique 33m harbourside pool with heritage character and superb views. A waterside timber deck offers an unparalleled sun bathing spot. It was originally just a rock pool created by local residents to form a safe harbour swimming hole (see the video below).

The architectural style of the current pool dates from the 1920s, and was restored in keeping with that by Council in 1985-1986.

Cleaning Timetable 2018

Once a week or so, due to its position above the highwater mark, Maccallum Pool needs to be cleaned.

Swimming has to stop when we begin to clean but sunbaking is ok. Then the pool is closed to be emptied and refilled.

Close and Open times are estimated, and may vary due to tides, weather, and Council work constraints. Please check the noticeboard at the pool.
