1 / 3Ithaca Swimming Pool
π Paddington, QLD
A 25-metre outdoor heated saltwater pool in Paddington set within tropical garden surrounds. Features 6 lap lanes, a disability ramp, shaded shallow end, learn-to-swim programs for all ages, and birthday party areas with shade structures.
I did my first aqua class with Edwina and I swear Iβve never seen an instructor that cares more about her job more. You guys are lucky to have such a talented instructor. The number were big and the only feedback I have is that the centre doesnβt overload one instructor with 60+ people. Put on 2 instructors or limit your numbers. You canβt be that cheap to put this pressure on 1 instructorβ¦.really? She handled it incredibly well and as an aqua instructor and international instructor, I commend her on splitting the class, altering available and limited equipment. Hats off to this super star. Iβve head hunted her for my classes in Spain so look out world!!!
π Family Action Verdict
Best for families who prioritise a natural, low-chlorine swimming environment with quality instruction options. The saltwater system is noticeably gentler on skin and hair β a genuine differentiator for children with sensitivities. Instructors draw consistent praise for genuine expertise.

βA wonderful place to swim. This pool has a special place in my heart. Great atmosphere, family friendly, itβs a joy to visit. Swimming laps under an open sky surrounded by big beautiful trees and tropical plants feels like a dream. The pool is mostly salt water, with the minimum chlorine required. I can tell a lot of care goes into adjusting the levels and itβs really appreciated. The water feels lovely and soft on my hair and skin, and I donβt get dry and itchy like in other highly chlorinated pools.β

βReally nice pool friendly polite helpful staff and as a female British Asian solo travelling from the UK, I felt pretty comfortable and at ease the entire time around everyone :) some other pools felt a little unwelcoming! The water was a good temperature and I liked the grass area to lay in the sun afterwards and dry off and chill! Highly recommend if you want to get a few laps in! πβ

βLove this place, love this pool - excellent facilities, maintained expertly, staff that are friendly and knowledgeable, and classes with instructors that are as good as any I've paid fortunes to, if not better. Wanted to NOT praise, as parking can be tricky at peak times, but it's too good. And the clean and well-maintained parklands on both sides are pretty schmick too.β
