Heather Clarke visited the refurbished building recently. She first worked here in 1975 and went on to teach generations of children to swim at various pools – including Tiverton Pool.
Below is a video of heather and some photos from the 1970’s and 1980’s. Do you remember Heather? Did she teach you to swim?
