NSW
The Andrew "Boy" Charlton Aquatic Centre in Manly was named after local boy Andrew Charlton, who won a gold medal in the 1500 metres freestyle at the 1924 Paris Summer Olympic Games. He also held five world records and won another four Olympic Games medals, a record he held until 1960. The aquatic centre features extensive structural steelwork that is subject to constant moisture and strong oxidizing agents, and is protected from corrosion using a high performance protective coating system.
