The Andrew (Boy) Charlton Pool, located in The Domain, was once known as the Sydney Domain Baths and is the oldest continuous bathing facility in Sydney. The baths were rebuilt in 1968 and renamed after Andrew Charlton, known as Boy Charlton, a world champion swimmer and Olympic gold medallist in 1924 and 1932. The pool provides scenic views of Wolloomooloo Bay, Sydney Harbour, Garden Island dockyard and Wolloomooloo wharf.
