To Swim, Perchance to Dream #1: Bondi Baths

Some people have a dream car, or a dream house.  But the more I get into swimming, the more I have dream pools.  Places I'd like to swim, or wish I could swim every day.

The first pool I ever saw a photo of that stirred this desire in me was the Bondi Baths in Sydney, Australia.  I was introduced to it through the work of the photographer Carlo Van de Roer who had a couple of beautiful shots of it:

The great news, it's open to the public (visit its website).  So, when I finally make it to Sydney, I can make this dream a reality! 

Have a suggestion for a future post of "To Swim, Perchance to Dream?"  Email me or tweet me with the hashtag #dreampool.
