Swimming Lessons

A Memory of Dagenham.

I used to go swimming at this pool with my school. The water temprature was shown as we entered and was often 36F. If it rained our weekly swimming lesson was cancelled. I never did learn to swim at this pool, as it took me most of my lesson getting used to the temperature of the water!

Yes, I suppose it would have been appreciated during a very hot summer but then we were all on school holidays so didn't get to find out. Kind regards - Patricia
