The views include several shots showing pupils swimming, diving and playing water polo. My favourite shows Roy Millard (nicknamed Tim if I remember rightly but Heaven knows why), our much admired swimming instructor and Mr Don Kincaid relaxing in the sun at poolside, while eating their packed lunches!
These pictures were almost certainly taken during the summer of 1959, my last term at School. I was a very keen swimmer myself and spent almost every lunchtime, plus a period at the end of the school day, at the pool.
Can anyone help put names
to faces?
The Swimming Pool from the main building. Polo Practise. Lower right, Wood above him Watson.
Has he decided the top board's too high?
More polo practise. Dick Worsfold right of centre?
Get it, Goalie! The pool was very close to private houses.
As mentioned above, a smashing picture of Mr Don Kincaid and Mr Roy Millard
enjoying their lunchtime snack and relaxing in the sunshine. We lads were lucky
that members of staff were willing to spend their lunch breaks there, because
without supervision, such swimming opportunities would, of course, have been
non-existent.
R. C. Anderson (Andy), Captain of Swimming, 1958/59, apparently in the closing
stages of a race, doing his splashy backstroke and it looks as if another chap
has already finished!
Perfecting his technique!
A relay race changeover.
