Several hardy swimmers continue to swim in our wonderful ocean pools through winter. Some have been interviewed as part of Wollongong Libraries Illawarra Stories Project including Peter McDonald at Stanwell Park, Max Ackerman and Joseph McGarity at Austinmer, Kevin Waddingham at Coledale, Barry Adams at Bulli and Greg Tuchin at Woonona.

You can listen to their stories online at: illawarrastories.com.au/ocean-pools-of-the-illawarra

Wollongong Library has just received a copy of Nicole Larkin’s new book
The Wild Edge: a survey of Ocean Pools in NSW, which includes 11 pools from the Illawarra.
