I learnt to swim in that pool. Thank you Mr Howard. I was petrified of water until I joined , aged 10 in 1966. I spent one whole day in there and could swim at the end of the day!!
I learned to swim in that same pool during lunch breaks before joining the rest of my class. Mr Howard, Mr Palmer and Mrs Lindsey to turns to teach me in 1966 - I was one of a few children who could not swim. I am now 65 and still remember getting my 25 yards badge Lol.
I started in year 3 in this school in 1993, I wanted to swim so much sadly only younger kids would get swimming lessons. I only was able to see the pool going past the door. RIP Mrs ojo
You must be the right person, sorry can't remember your last name you started late in our final year at primary school. I do remember we were eventually allowed to join the rest of the class going by coach to Clissold Park swimming pool. I seem to remember us practicing for the 440yards or something....... Trying to remember the names of some of our the classmates, maybe one or two might ring a bell.... Kirstin Hart, Joyce Griffiths, Adrienne, Frances, Patsy, Eukris, Beverly Tender, Susan Shapiro, Marilyn, Marion, Hilda levy, Cheryl, Roselyn, Robin, Leon Sultan, Simon Tender, Ellis Judah, Steven Summerfield, Kevin, Gary Hemmit, Danny Carter, Paul Hardman, Michael Lewin, Michael Tony Collins, Walter, Raymond King and others I can see their faces but can't remember the names Thanks for replying. Sorry it took me so long to get back to you... Funny thing is for some reason the video of the swimming pool came up from my watch list this evening. Crazy eh!!
My parents gave up on me cause I didn't like going to the Virginia beach and catch the Waves I just like playing in the sand they tried to get me in the water and My two sisters Cheryl Page now Teal and Stacey Page now Smith they helped me with our Mom Charlotte Darlene Page and Dad Marcel Franklin Page jr but I just sank in the water Even laying on my back ps it's the Year then 1970s 1980s and Even now in the year 2023 I still don't swim ps but I'm a Born again Christian brother in Christ and walking magic book full of knowledge freely

Man that's awesome, when I was in primary school, we didn't have a pool
I finished high school in Germany and we had an Olympic size swimming pool. Although, you had to walk a quarter mile to get to it. Lots of exercise!
The Germans are best at everything!
I wonder which company made this pool.
Pamela; I am not sure.
Joined in last year of junior school September 1966 with Mrs Lindsay.
