How to get to every ocean pool in Wollongong and what to expect when you get there
Illawarra ocean rock pools are some of the best in Australia. Featuring the most ocean rock pools in a geographical area, Wollongong locals and tourists are spoiled for choice. Almost 20 ocean rock pools in close proximity-where will you do a lap?
From Bulgo to Boat Harbour we’ve had some great adventures. Join us and Dudley the duck as we check out what the Gong has to offer in the ocean rock pool department.
Do a lap and swim them all!
Our goal is to do a lap and swim in all of the Illawarra's ocean rock pools to begin our journey
We plan on documenting what we find along the way
As a family of ocean pool lovers, we’ve set ourselves the almighty task of swimming in all of Australia’s ocean pools. In doing so we hope to create the ultimate guide for anyone wanting to follow in our footsteps.
We live in Wollongong, so we’re starting in our own backyard.

They are places of fun, relaxation, fitness and friendship. Join us on our adventures as we explore everything that these salty beauties have to offer.
