Langley Swimming Baths

I'd fopgotten the little wooden benches- like skirting board nailed to a frame-2inch gaps between the wood-the sleeves of your jumper always seemed to dangle between the latts onto THAT floor!
I remember my first cozzie -mum made it-the top was all shirring elastic and the bottom was sort of Francis Drake style ! When I got into the water the bottom used to blow up like a barage balloon-no wonder I never had any trouble learning to float! it was however far superior to the hand knitted cozzie-usually favoured by the boys-when they got out of the water, the waistband remained in place but the rest stretched until the gusset was below the knees-they must have been really heavy when wet-no wonder Langley produced strong swimmers.
