Swimming in Melbourne

Melbourne is one of the few cities in Australia that has convenient weather all year around. In winter mild and in summer pretty warm. During the time between November and March, the residents and visitors of Melbourne start to look for a way to cool down. Don't let the shadows in the gardens impress you that much that you forget to go swimming...

Melbourne is located on Port Phillip Bay which has many beautiful beaches. The most popular beach is St. Kilda, one of the most spectacular points on the bay, which is pretty close to the city centre. Other than St. Kilda, Port Melbourne, South Melbourne, Middle Park, Brighton and Sandringham Beaches also draw swimmers' attention. These beaches are watched by lifeguards during the high season (including the weekends and public holidays) and therefore they are safe. For surfers, there are numerous beaches outside the bay that require a bit further traveling. Those who prefer to not to swim in the sea can make a visit to a swimming pool instead. Melbourne City Baths is just one of the options and there are many more...
