Did your school have a swimming pool?

[thms]

NO!

[Kardan]

Primary school, yes.
Secondary school, yes, but it's now shut down.

[Kellie]

Yeah my old primary school did. Oh how I hated it though, not being able to do your own thing

[sexpot]

it had two.

[Richie]

na we didn't

[Kimmy]

My primary school didn't, but they took us to the swimming baths to learn.
My high school had one, but we were conjoined with a special school and it was reserved heavily for their students which was understandable.

[Chris]

Yeah mine had a swimming pool. It shut down after I left though as I don't think it was safe anymore.

[Matt]

Yep all my schools have had swimming pools.

One of mine backed onto a country park as well so we did kayaking and sailing and all sorts of stuff in the lake.

In junior school there was no need for one as the town's swimming baths (not pool) was a 2 minute walk away from school. Unfortunately, we had to stop going there after a partial roof collapse and they decides then to close it, although there were numerous petitions and pickets as that swimming baths had been there even when we were known as a mining town. Also, a lot of residents didn't agree that the new location for our swimming pool would be the high school and it would take on the name of swimming pool and not swimming baths, it would also be small.

After the closure of that, junior school swimming stopped for a period of time and then we changed location to have lessons. We had to take a bus there each week therefore classes were mixed and where we went only had a large pool. Unfortunately, we then we're forbidden from going there as someone had a poo in the pool from our school. After that we didn't go swimming anymore, but the students at that school now use the high school facilities.

When we started highschool the swimming pool wasn't built, it had only just been started. However, then the sports hall burnt down and it luckily missed the swimming pool structure, but this was before I started. For the first couple of years, all our PE lessons were outside as they now had to build a sports hall and a swimming pool. We eventually started having lessons there, but the pool was really less than adequate. It was so small, the staff were rude and there were only a few cubicles and lockers to use. However, it gained more people going to the school just for swimming.

in primary we had to get a coach to leisure centre for our swimming lessons
