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!
Hi moddiddle,
i get to Sydney every few months on business. Definitely swim in the Sydney Olympic pool, right at the base of the Bridge. There is a very active masters group there with a pretty aggressive workout schedule. Great people, great swimming and a world class location. "North Sydney Masters" Cheers
