[Torchwatch]

The original swimming in Rochester, Kent, England was off a raft in the River Medway, close to the factory where the flying boats were built. It was replaced by a nearby indoor pool and later by an outdoor pool beside the river. You could hear and possibly watch aircraft taking off on the river, while swimming in the outdoor pool.
No one swims near the bridge any more, although I have swam, in speedos further upstream above the first lock.
