Langley Swimming Baths
replied on: 12/21/2004 9:16:55 AM

What I remember from the baths was the reckless "dares" we used to inflict on each other. One was being able to dive off the high wall into the shallow pool (many a bloody nose for a boy doing that for the first time) or diving off the rail from the back of the diving board. Both were instant "chucking out" offences from Mr Evans the guy in charge.

But probably the scariest was having to swim under and round the steps at the shallow end of the big pool. I think the best I did was three times without comming up. There was a narrow gap where the steps abutted the pool wall you had to squeeze through. Probably couldn't even fit now!
