Hi! I'm going to Australia for the first time in December for a couple weeks after living in California nearly all 26 years of my life in California. Ever since Sydney 2000 and Ian Thorpe's rise to fame, I've wanted to visit the nation where swimming "is a national sport"(?). I've tried searching all over the internet but only in newspaper articles can I find stories of how much different swimming is in Australia as opposed to the US. Any advice on places to go/things to do so that I can get a taste of this? So far all I have is to scuba dive the great barrier reef and visit Sydney aquatic center. Non swimming related advice is welcome as well!
You might want to check out the swimmersguide.com, which lists pools all over the world, and typically notes if there is a masters group active at a particular pool. And if you're headed down towards Melbourne (and perhaps they have affiliates in the Sydney area), check out SwimSmooth.com; they have lots of workouts and seem welcoming.
