Swimming Pools
There are two open-air and one indoor swimming pools owned by the Borough Council and in
addition the Council own Ruislip Lido, part of which is used for bathing purposes.
During 1965 a new chlorination plant was installed in connection with the bathing pool at the
Lido and this has resulted in a much more satisfactory water. In addition, there are six swimming
pools in schools.
Twenty-two samples have been taken from both private and public swimming pools, two of
which were unsatisfactory.
