Learning to swim in Worcester: where did you take the plunge?


WHERE did you learn to swim? Our parks feature a couple of weeks ago sparked a few conversations regarding places to cool off over the summer in Worcester.
This week, we’ve dug out a few images of places where local people either learnt to swim, or simply enjoyed dipping their toes!
The first corporation swimming baths for the city were based down on the river at the south end of Pitchcroft in two old barges, as recalled by Max Sinclair in a conversation a few years ago: “They were two of the old Severn Trows that had been opened up and demasted, and placed side by side and joined together to make a floating trough, with holes at each end so the river flowed in and flowed out.

Led by Alderman Stanley Marshall, the WCSBA eventually got the money together and looked at all sorts of sites, including Cripplegate Park, the YMCA in Henwick Road and the edge of Pitchcroft by The Moors, before dairy farmer John Bennett – son of a former mayor – generously donated land at Lower Wick with the pool water heater ingeniously powered by methane gas from his cows. ....
