The attendance of bathers during- 1935 numbered 52,988.
There are twelve slipper baths divided into two departments
for males and females respectively.
The main open air pool was opened in 1932. It is 165
feet long by 80 feet wide, and is ten feet deep at the diving
end. The water is purified by filtration through an adequate
and up-to-date plant, aeration by means of cascades, and
sterilised by the chloramine system. During suitable weather
the pool is frequented by large numbers of bathers, and
even at the busiest times during the summer, samples submitted
to a competent analyst for chemical and bacteriolocal
examination have proved that the water at all times
closely approached the purity of drinking water.
The children's pool adjoins the main pool and was
opened in 1934. It is oval in shape, and its greatest depth
is 3 feet 6 inches. Purification is on the same lines as at
the main pool, and samples have been entirely satisfactory.
The attendances at the two pools in 1935 numbered
165,896.
