In reply to Isabel.

Thank you Isabel, NT is the only state I’ve not visited. Or are you in another state? Just north? Re. Queensland, the furthest north I’ve been is Gympie – not very far. Hundreds of pools to go.

In reply to Paul. Ha HA! Well spotted, Paul. In all honesty it was hard enough finding 4. Generally, I find pools clean and great fun and I'd rather concentrate on the positive aspects.But occasionally ...

In reply to Kath.

Thanks Kath. Glad you liked the ABC article. Was good fun. Weekend Sunrise interviewed me last Sunday from Coogee too. If you search my name and 1000 pools, it should come up.
Cheers,

In reply to Richard Corbet.

Thank you Richard, Wonderful story. I turn 50 next year and I ma planning on what you did! 50 new pools. It’s going to be very hard because, as I’m sure you’d appreciate, I’ve done all within about a 3 hour drive. But I’m going to give it a crack.
I’ve not done Bermagui or Harold Holt. I think a trip to Melbourne in summer will be a good idea to knock off a dozen or so new pools.
And lucky you doing the Marina Bay Sands.
Kind regards,
Kenton

Hi Jodie, I’ve only just seen your comment. Eek! A bit late. Sorry.
I like the Forest Gump reference.
I’ll see swimming.

In reply to Christine Weekley.

Thanks Christine, it’s on my list. I’m heading back to Adelaide in November so might make the trek to Edithburgh. By my reckoning there are only 2 ocean pools in SA. That one and Kangaroo Island – which I did years ago in August. Freezing!!
Thanks for commenting,

Great odyssey Kenton. Last year I took on 60 60 60, sixty pools, sixty km in my sixtieth year! It did include the Marina Bay Sands, most expensive swim of the year and spectacular. I am excited for you and grateful that you have helped me discover a few more pools for my continuing exploration. Don’t miss the sea pool at Bermagui and of course the Harold Holt Pool named after a drowned prime minister. Happy lapping. Richard
