During 1955, the total number of persons using the bath was 47,616. The average
number of persons attending per day (wet or fine) was 313. The maximum number at
any one session was 450.
As this bath is uncovered, it is only opened for swimmers during the summer months
—May to September—and the attendance varies to a great extent according to weather
conditions. The fine summer weather during several months of 1955 resulted in a very
high attendance at the swimming bath—the numbers being almost double those for the
previous year.
In the early summer, a paddling pool for young children was opened in Cranleigh
Gardens play park—the capacity of the pool is 20,600 gallons and the depth from 3 inches
to 12 inches; the water of the pool is free running and is treated by continuous chlorination
for hygienic purposes.
