The idea of building an ocean pool is raised at just about every single community forum regarding coastal development. It is an immensely popular concept, and for those of us who have spent some time in New South Wales or Queensland, the absence of ocean pools provides a degree of parochial jealousy.

The reasons are caused by several physical processes, which are prevalent in the southwest. These challenges are not impossible to overcome, but we need to learn from previous mistakes and evaluate carefully when considering an ocean pool.
