Concrete Playground

One photograph of Bondi's iconic Icebergs Pool is all it takes to spark manic pangs of homesickness in the heart of the most seasoned Sydney expat living abroad. Its ethereal beauty in the dawn sun is forever the subject of the hugely popular Aquabumps email newsletter, inspiring 40,000 daily readers with its architectural grace and spritely regulars. In fact, there's little not to love about a spot where you can have a sauna by the sea immediately prior to a long lunch at the quintessential Icebergs Dining Room.

This week, however, the pool's swimming lanes will be closed for the evening to allow the Australian mens water polo team to host their American counterparts in an exhibition match set to showcase this rugged sport to a new generation of fans. Visitors will be treated to an Olympic standard match backed by DJ sets from Bambalam and Jonny Pow on the pool deck from 6pm.
