(20) SWIMMING BATH, ETC.
The Council's Open-Air Bath in Vicarage Road offers
excellent facilities for swimming. It is regularly attended
by children from the schools.
The water in the Bath is filtered constantly, after which
it is completely sterilised to ensure that it is always clean
and safe. As a further precaution it is tested frequently
to determine the amount of treatment that is necessary.
