SITTING AND SLIPPER BATHS.
Four Swimming Baths are provided by the Council in the Borough.
The Open Air Swimming Bath at Goulston Street was closed throughout
the year for modernisation. During the year the number of swims taken
amounted to 153,102, comprising 25,914 adults and 127,188 children and
juveniles.
The water is subjected to a continuous chlorination and filtration
process, passing through the filters once every 3l½-hours. Five samples
were taken during the year for bacteriological and chemical analysis.
Three were found to be unsatisfactory; two by reason of high pH value
and one revealing a low free chlorine content.
The number of Slipper Baths taken during the year at the four
Council establishments was 186,922, which included 5,976 by old age
pensioners and 31 by unemployed persons, who were admitted free of
charge.
The total number of persons admitted to all sections of the Baths
and Washhouses Department, including the Laundry, was 380,021.
