SWIMMING BATHS
64 Samples of water were taken from swimming baths and pools available for public use, and
were subjected to bacterial and chemical exaimination. In one instance the water was not
entirely satisfactory and this situation was remedied by the cleansing of filters. The remainder
of the samples were of satisfactory standard.
There are the following baths and pools in the Borough:-
Clubs, Hotels, etc. 6
Municipally owned 4
Council Schools 14
Private Schools 8
Greater London Council 3
The Greater London Council's Scientific Branch controls the three pools at the Crystal Palace
Sports Centre, and reports on samples taken by that Branch were submitted monthly.
Swimming baths and pools owned by the London Borough of Bromley are controlled by the Baths
Manager and Engineer, who also provides practical assistance and advice in the management
of Council School Baths.
