Dawn Fraser Baths, Heritage tidal swimming pool in Balmain, Australia.
Dawn Fraser Baths features wooden pavilions and decking along the Parramatta River, with separate areas for males and females to swim.
Established in 1882, the facility stands as Australia's oldest surviving enclosed public tidal bath, undergoing multiple renovations throughout the 20th century.
The swimming complex maintains its position as the home base for Australia's oldest water polo and swimming club, fostering athletic development.
Recent renovations elevated the southern pavilion by one meter and upgraded the facilities to accommodate Olympic-standard water polo competitions.
The tidal pool incorporates natural seawater flows, creating different water levels and swimming conditions throughout the day.
