13. SWIMMING POOLS
I am obliged to Mr. A. Woodward, N.D.H., F.I.P.A. (Dip.), Recreation Manager,
for the following report :—
"Swimming Pools (Open Air)
Bathing facilities are provided at three Open Air Pools, during the summer period,
within the Borough, each of these properties being owned by the Council. The water
capacity of each of the Pools is as follows :
Twickenham Open Air Pool 280,000 gallons
Hampton Open Air Pool 206,000 gallons
Teddington Open Air Pool 180,000 gallons
this water being supplied by the Metropolitan Water Board. The pools' water is
filtered through pressure sand filters and sterilized by chlorine gas treatment operating
on the "marginal" principle. The pool water at the Twickenham and Teddington
Pools is turned over once every 6½ hours, whilst that at the Hampton Pool operates on
a 4 hour turnover rate.
Colourmetric tests and water samples at each pool are taken three times daily to
determine free-available/residual chlorine content of the water, the pH values of the
same, and both shallow and deep end water temperatures. Each of the results obtained
are recorded in a standard log-book.
Bacteriological tests of the water at each of the above pools and including Richmond
Baths are made monthly and, during the past year 88 samples have been taken, of which
58 were satisfactory and, whilst the remaining JO were below the recommended standard,
repeat samples in each case have produced satisfactory results.
Richmond Baths (Indoor and Open Air)
The new Richmond Baths establishment, of a "combination" nature, situated in the
Old Deer Park, Richmond, was opened to the public in August, 1966.
The establishment consists of one main Indoor Pool 110' x 42', water capacity of
210,000 gallons and a turnover rate of 3 hours; one Indoor Learner's pool 42' x 24',
