start diving, 28 years old

[Byron]

Know that pool well (I should say knew as it is demolished this year). A perfectly good public amenity for SWIMMING and the local authority now offers as an alternative a ridiculously small pool nearby as part of a new development of a "leisure centre" but which provides nothing more than a kids' paddling pool

Btw recognise the pool attendant with with Rowan Atkinson? (Nicholas Lyndhurst?)
PS: Pool also hired sometimes by BA for cabin crew training in emergency evacuation procedures.
