Before packing the towels and getting the kids ready for a Coogee swim, there’s a local closure to keep in mind.
Wylie’s Baths is temporarily closed for swimming, with repair work scheduled for completion on 4 December 2026. The downstairs pool deck is also closed, including to season pass holders. However, the upstairs area and kiosk remain open from 7.30am to 2pm.
What’s being fixed?
Leaks in the northern pool wall have been allowing water to escape, lowering the pool level at low tide. Randwick Council is repairing the wall, with the timetable dependent on weather, tides and swell.
For families, that means keeping swim plans flexible and checking for an update before promising the kids a return visit.
Planning a different pool outing
If you’re considering Bronte Ocean Pool or North Bondi Children’s Pool instead, check the cleaning schedule first. Waverley Council normally schedules Bronte’s cleaning on Wednesdays and North Bondi’s on Thursdays, with closures timed around low tide. Weather and surf conditions can change those arrangements.
You can find the latest information on Waverley Council’s pool cleaning page.
When organising an outing with children, it helps to choose a backup activity before leaving home. A changed swim plan is much easier to manage when everyone already knows what else is on the agenda.
Check before you go
