Staff are working hard to keep the Baths operational, safe, and our community well so please be patient and we thank you for you understanding and cooperation

12.01.2022 Inboxed: I’m a Kiwi film-maker and outdoor swimmer based in London and I wonder if the Wylie's swimmers might be interested in watching my film, The Ponds, about the year-round swimmers of Hampstead Heath, London It’s a feel good story of health, well-being and passion for the cold-water buzz, plus it has a good few, much-needed laughs. I'd be chuffed if you shared the links with your clubs and swimmers. Here’s the trailer: https://vimeo.com/406188620... Rent it here: https://vimeo.com/ondemand/theponds

07.01.2022 We know you've been missing Wylie's Baths. We've missed you too. Rest assured, we've taken this closure period as an opportunity to do some cleaning, sanding, painting, pressure washing, stair-building, valve-installing, leak-plugging, gardening, scrubbing, reviewing, organising, pest-controlling, irrigating, sewer pump servicing, urinal repairing, roof-sealing, sanding, painting, sanding, painting, sanding, and painting.... We're pretty stoked with the results so far and we... think you will be too! Wylie's Baths, like all businesses, is working out the best way to facilitate an eventual re-opening on the other side of a nation-wide hibernation + our capital works closure period. It's been just over 100 days. And we are looking like another few weeks or so until we can welcome you for a swim. We thank you for your continued support & patience in this very trying time and we so look forward to welcoming you back to the pool. A big shout out to The Wylie's Baths Trust who have met weekly to keep on top of facility finance, compliance, governance, and more, Randwick City Council who are managing the pool repairs, Antoun Civil doing those repairs, our contractors who take great pride & care in their craftsman(and woman)ship -- GardenLink, Venice Projects, Men In White Painting, GJ Electrical, ESS, The Lone Drainer & Pronto, and more! -- our bookkeeper doing the behind the scenes work for small business/not-for-profit grants and recovery initiatives, and the Wylie's Baths staff who have been labouring for last three months to get things looking tidy and ready for you!

01.01.2022 Would you be tougher than your ancestors? Former world record holder Wilhelmina (Mina) Wylie, along with her friend Fanny Durack, were Australia’s first femal...e Olympians, swimming their way to victory at the 1912 Stockholm Games. Our swimmers of today Sienna and Paige have to swim in heavy woollen bathers and race without the aid of goggles or marked lanes. Will they beat Mina’s medal winning time? Filmed at Wylie's Baths, Coogee, Sydney Watch 'Are You Tougher Than Your Ancestors?' tonight on ABC ME at 6.30pm and on the ABC ME app. Thanks to Wylie's Baths Victoria Park Pool McIver’s Ladies Baths Leafe Elite Swim School Australian National Maritime Museum NFSA - National Film and Sound Archive of Australia National Library of Australia National Museum of Australia Powerhouse Museum The State Library of New South Wales State Library of Queensland Sydney Living Museums With ABC Kids Community Ghenoa Gela Flying Kite Pictures South Australian Film Corporation Australian Children's Television Foundation See more
