Swimming

The Swimming Pool c1955
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

I remember swimming in Worksop Lido almost everyday during the summer - or so it seemed.  We swam in the early morning before school, we swam '5 'til 6' after school (cost 4d) and sometimes on a Saturday morning for two hours for even less.  It must have been cold but we didn't notice.  The only time that we did notice was when we went from school on Monday mornings at about 9.30 - then it was very cold.  

A memory of Worksop in Nottinghamshire shared on Tuesday, 12th February 2008.

RE: RE: Swimming

It looks like the one near the Priory (the Canch). We used to get a season ticket fot the baths when it opened in May and aimed to get our money back by August. It was always cold even on the hottest days.
