Worth taking a wander up/down stream if the rock pool is busy, as there are some other places to get in for a dip.

We saw a dude having a dip just above the pack horse bridge, cant say i would have jumped in it but he looked like he was having a great time..=)

There's a larger pool just up from the bridge where you can have a swim. It gets busy at peak times though so best get there early!
