This photo means a lot to me as my Mam Lexi Hudson (née Murray), used to take me down the docks and down the ledges where she learned to swim years earlier with the swimming club. I did learn to swim then as it was the only option to drowning!
PART OF THE HARBOUR WAS USED AS A SWIMMING CLUB. WE WOULD HAVE A ROPE AROUND OUR WAIST AND BE TAUGHT TO SWIM. I REMEMBER THE SEAWEED CLINGING TO MY LEGS AS I GOT INTO THE FREEZING WATER.I WAS TERRIFIED I AM 63 NOW ,AND NEVER DID LEARN TO SWIM
