The Andrew (Boy) Charlton Pool is an amazing aquatic facility that literally hangs over the western shore of Woolloomooloo Bay. It recently underwent multi-million dollar eco-renovations, and features an eight-lane, 50-metre outdoor heated saltwater lap pool and a shaded program pool. It got its name from the legendary 1924 Olympic freestyle champion who broke world records on this exact site. The pool is famed for its incredible view across the harbour toward the Garden Island Naval Precinct. It's only open seasonally between September and April, and it provides sun lounges, wellness facilities, and the popular on-site café "Oh Boy Sydney".
