Swimming Baths and Pools
There are three bathing establishments in the district; one indoors
in Lambeth Road, S.E. 1, belonging to the Borough Council, is
connected with the Baths and Washhouses; another, "open-air,"
situated in Kennington Park, S.E. 11, belongs to the London County
Council, and is fitted with continuous filtration and chlorination
plant; while the third is also an open-air pool in Brockwell Park,
S.W. 2, fitted with a continuous filtration and chlorination plant.
Eighteen samples of water from the public swimming baths in
the borough were submitted for bacteriological examination.
There is at present no legal standard of cleanliness of such
water but the results of the analyses of the samples taken may
be regarded as satisfactory.
Schools.
No schools in the district are under the control of the Borough
Council, as the County Council is the Education Authority. Close
touch is kept with the school authorities, however, in so far as
infectious disease is concerned.
