Cheam Ladies Swimming Club

In the summer we trained at Cheam Baths which was a 33 and 1/3 yard bath and Sutton baths was only 25 yards long. Pop Worsel was a good old fashioned coach and at the end of each training session we played water polo or just passed the ball around. If we trained in the winter in a large bath we went to Wimbledon where there were two pools under the same roof. This was not a fast pool but I swam I mile there. We also had the county school championships there. Epsom Baths was the fastest pool, something about the water I believe, but this was closed in the winter as they boarded the pool and used the hall for music festivals etc. I trained at Epsom early morning and then popped round the corner to school.
Mrs Worsel was a lovely lady too and very helpful.
