During 1956, the total number of persons using the bath was 28,652. The average
number of persons attending per day (wet or fine) was 188. The maximum number at any
one session was 400.
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 cold, wet summer of 1956 resulted in there being low figures for attendance
at the swimming bath, the drop being from 47,616 total attendance during 1955.
A paddling pool for young children is available 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.
