Very interesting concept of a swimming pool. Filled with salt water (presumable from the ocean) it is nice to swim in their 25m pool, but if you’re coming to practice your open water skills this won’t cut the mustard πŸ˜‰ The water is a bit warmer than your average swimming pools and you can’t really swim for that long because the salt water will start getting to you but if you do practice, there is an option to unwind in their hot pool with a view of the ocean and a steam room. $15 entry + $3 locker hire was a bit more than I expected but a pretty cool thing to try out if you’re in the area!

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families with older children or teens who appreciate an open-water feel without the unpredictability of ocean swimming. The hydrotherapy pools and bay views make this a genuinely scenic experience. Younger children may find the saltwater irritating after extended swims.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

πŸ’‘Locker hire is charged separately from entry β€” bring coins or card for both
⏰The hydrotherapy pool overlooking the bay is the main highlight β€” go there first before it fills up
🎟️Saltwater can be drying for young skin β€” rinse off in the showers immediately after swimming
πŸš—Steam room and hot pools are available for post-swim relaxation

β€œMy favourite place to go too and relax. Steam room, hydro pool and a quick dip into Port Phillip Bay. Really gives you a great appetite to explore St Kilda. We just love this place!”

β€œBit overpriced for what you're getting but it's always lovely, you're paying for the ambiance and beach view more than the food itself. Staff are hit or miss, done if them are lovely and will go above and beyond to be polite and interested in helping you, while others seem to be more interested in getting the service done as soon as possible to get back to standing around. I understand rushing when it's real hour and you have lots of things you need to do, but it's a bit odd to rush and then not even pretend to be busy? Maybe that's the manager in me being overly critical, but it's disappointing when the other servers make such an amazing effort”
