SWIMMING BATHS
All swimming baths in the borough to which the public has
access are the responsibility of the Department in respect of conditions
which might give rise to health hazards. They are subjected
to periodic inspections and samples of the bath waters are
regularly taken for bacterial and chemical examination in order
to confirm that the measures taken to purify the waters are
effectively maintained.
The Baths Manager and Engineer provides day to day oversight
of the Public Baths owned by the Council and of baths
situated at schools under the Council's control.
The three pools at the Crystal Palace Sports Centre are controlled
by the Greater London Council whose Scientific Branch
submits monthly reports on the samples taken.
There was no evidence found during the year of any swimming
bath being in an unsatisfactory condition.

following information.
