I used to swim there in the 1970s, RH.

And at Hatfield, Harpenden, Stanborough and Kimpton. Only one of those 4 is still in operation :-(

Actually a quick Google suggests Kimpton, as well as Hatfield, are still going. Who knew.

My school swimming lessons were in an outdoor pool, nestled in the rocks, along the sea in Plymouth. I remember taking a flask to have a hot drink afterwards and dropping the flask on the floor of the changing room. There was a gut wrenching sound of rattling from the broken flask inside when I gave the flask a shake.

Hatfield pool - is that the one with the diving pool on the side? I think we used to have the county juniors and the girl-guide inter-troop galas there. -Flipping long time ago!

Yes very weird set up, RH - it gets deeper across the width, rather than the length. Went there a couple of years back with my brother and our kids. It was good but strange to go back.

After being distracted by "swimming pools of our youth", I've just remembered that the reason I came to this thread.
After listening this week I meant to say thank you for reminding me about Benchmarks :) As long as I set the timeframe to something reasonable, it's encouraging to see the odd new red line appear. Means I can see a bit of progress sometimes, which always helps.

Rosehip - did you know that if you click one of times in the 'Based on GPS Data' section it will show your top 20?
