December 1 - In the Ocean

I love the ocean. I love the sound of it, the feel of it, and even the smell of it. I like swimming in the surf, but I especially like swimming in the various rock pools around the area where we stay when we come to Australia.

My favourite of these pools is at a place called The Entrance. This is on the Central Coast about an hour and a half north of Sydney.  At The Entrance there are three separate pools carved into the rocks. The largest of these is Olympic length. The middle sized one (my favourite), is perfect for swimming or walking my laps. There is also a wading pool for the kids with a large sun shade over the top. Yesterday when were at the pools at high tide, the waves were just high enough to crash and splash over the outer rock wall.

There are two pictures with this post. In the first I am standing in the smaller lap pool. The second picture gives an overview of the three pools.
