It was first built 167 years ago, so the Andrew "Boy" Charlton pool on the edge of Sydney Harbour was definitely due for an upgrade. After a 16-month long renovation, bathers got their first spring swim today inside the multi-million dollar facility. #9News | 9 News Sydney

Andrew Boy Charlton pool has reopened, right in time for your first swim of spring. We’ve given this pull a huge refurb – from concrete remediation, to efficient electric heating, new decking and a 47,000 or so fresh tiles too – so it’s ready to serve swimmers for decades to come. The electrification of the pool’s heating was supported by an Australian Government grant. Thanks, @ausgov! | City of Sydney
