The crisps were saved for the long (shivering)walk home! The corrugated tin -concrete floored-changing rooms used to cause me the most concern-the gaping holes which the wind whistled through=and the fear(or excitement)-of boys peeping in and seeing me in my hand knitted vest!!!!Remember the little shower cubicle (at the side of the junior pool) which you had to go in to make sure your feet were clean before you entered the pool! The shower was ice cold and the floor so slimey you could barely stand up!
Girls had to wear bathing caps -to save long hair from contaminating the pool!!!
They were really keen on health and safety in those days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
