😳 I found that place terrifying.
How I ever learned to swim I will never know.

Yes, I remember them well.
The entrance where you paid to get in was behind the deep end, I remember it had viewing windows and from memory they were near the bottom of the pool so you could see people swimming about above you which looked weird from below and when someone dived in from one of the high boards it was like an explosion with millions of bubbles.
Think I am right in saying the deep end was 16ft and the diving boards were Olympic standard - if that’s wrong, it was a long time ago.
Oh yes, and their after-swim cheese rolls in the canteen were gorgeous. |  | | |

That was what was called ‘The New Baths’ that replaced the ‘Old’. | | | |
