The pool was officially opened on 25 September 1926 by Brisbane mayor William Jolly. Amber has been the Facility Manager at Manly Pool for the past four years. Prior to that she was the Fitness Manager. In October 2019 Amber organised a Guiness World Record with 270 people attending an Aqua Aerobics session.
