The Hertford lot only had swimming for half the year ( ie 2 terms out of the 4) in the non swimming time there was a floor laid down for volley ball and other things - I would have preferred to swim than play volleyball..
NExt to the pool was the Gymnasium - or in truth the torture chamber - I was a brilliant swimmer - strong arms and reasonably strong legs - but I could never ever get up that rope - even with all Miss Gravetts yells - I was firmly rooted at the bottom.....

That must have happened just after I left in '70 - we had swimming all year round - the pool was heated, and you stunk of chlorine for the rest of the day.

Only swam in the summer all the time I was there although the pool was heated.
