  • A British officer filmed his wife and children in the Singapore Swimming Club in 1962. One had to be a member to make use of the pool. Children seem to graduate for a swimming test. The club itself dates from the 19th century.

    These videos are so precious, capturing those moments we have forgotten in this time and age where we are flooded with millions of videos every day in social medias. Makes me nostalgic even though i didn't exist in that era.

    Thank you so much for sharing this. We lived on Meyer Road, not far from the SSC, and so many afternoons of our childhood, after coming home from school at Raeburn Park, were spent in the pool there. Such memories!

I have not been back since ...it has changed a lot since then! We visited Johor Bahru on day trips across the causeway. I have great memories of childhood in that area. Best Wishes.
