A dip in a heated swimming pool cannot compare to the sensation of a wild swim in the open ocean. However, ocean pools combine the finest of both environments. They provide all of the poolside conveniences as well as the exhilaration of a beach swim. 

If you’re seeking for a different kind of coastal experience, or perhaps a steppingstone from typical swimming pools, these aquatic oases might be the place to go. 

• Bondi Icebergs Pool, Sydney, Australia – Australia’s beaches are endowed with some of the most beautiful ocean pools on the planet. Bondi Icebergs Club, on the outskirts of Bondi Beach, is perhaps the most well-known. Icebergs is also known as the world’s most photographed swimming pool. 
• Grotta Della Poesia, Roca Vecchia, Italy – meaning the cave of poetry is located near the beautiful Salento peninsula in Italy’s Puglia province. Famed for its stunning blue-green water and diving cliffs.  One of the world’s most magnificent natural swimming pools, you may swim right into the sea through a connecting passage in the cave. 
• To Sua Ocean Trench, Samoa – To Sua, which translates as “big hole,” is located on the edge of the South Pacific, surrounded by plants, and its west part opens onto a little beach. The water is so pure that you can see fish fluttering about far below. The trench is supplied by an underwater lava tube that runs out to the South Pacific and may be swum across by competent divers.
