PUBLIC SWIMMING BATHS
(INFORMATION SUPPLIED BY COURTESY OF MR. R. C. GERRED, M.N.A.B.S. . M. I.Mar.E.)
The Fulham Public Baths establishment comprises of 3 swimming baths, 90 personal
washing baths, and 2 Public Laundries.
The swimming baths are respectively 75" x 25L - 100' x 30' - 125' x 35'. They
are filled from the Metropolitan Water Board mains, and from then on are purified by
continuous pressure filtration, with a 4 hour turnover. Chlorine is used as a
sterilising agent, and bacteriological tests are taken regularly, which show a high
standard of purity commensurate with recommendations of the Ministry of Health.
Once a year all baths are emptied for thorough cleaning.
During the winter season, two of the swimming baths are closed and floored over,
being used for badminton, indoor bowls, table-tennis, meetings, dances etc; while
one swimming pool remains open all the year.
The facilities in both the private warm baths, which includes showers, foam
baths etc, and the Public Laundries, prove very popular and are used to capacity
particularly at the weekends.
