SWIMMING BATHS
There are two municipal-owned open air swimming baths and one open air school
teaching swimming pool in the Borough. The privately-owned swimming pool open to
the public at Hendon Hall Hotel was not used during 1962 because of building operations
at the site.
Samples of swimming bath water were taken during the summer months and submitted
to the Central Public Health Laboratory for bacteriological examination.
The following are the results of the samples:-

There was no apparent cause for the unsatisfactory sample at Mill Hill bath,
where the standard is normally very high.
The samples from Broadfields Junior School showed an improvement on previous
years when difficulties had been met in controlling the chlorine input to the bath.
The following figures show the attendances at the two municipal-owned baths
during the opening season.
