Wild Swimming Australia

Dive into our map or locations page to discover wild swimming holes across Australia.

We define wild swimming simply as swimming outdoors in nature. It could be under a waterfall, in a tree-lined creek or at a secluded beach. There’s many reasons you might want to find a beautiful swimming hole. Maybe you want to:

Wash off the stress of the city underneath a waterfall.
Break up a long journey with a dip in a swimming hole.
Get the kids (and yourself) outdoors and playing the way nature intended.

It’s our aim to help you do all this as easily as possible. Because whatever your reasons for wanting to find an epic swimming hole, one thing’s for sure: you want to spend less time searching and more time having fun.

Here’s your step by step guide to finding amazing swimming holes.
