School rules insisted on bathing costumes being in 'one piece and one colour' and plain swimming caps. Two pupils can be seen running- perhaps trying to keep warm! Campbell Thompson and Anthea Fitzjames (teachers) are also seen against a backdrop of the school building and Cader Idris.

One of the strange things about swimming here was that I always felt twice as wet when it was raining as well. Ridiculous!
But does anyone remember swimming in the pool at Glyn? It was fed by a mountain stream and was always freezing cold, as well as full of wildlife. Also - who remembers very sick-inducing bus rides to Fairbourne, followed by a dip in the 'proper' sea?

Yes, I remember it well, I learnt to swim there. There are quite a few mentions of the pool in stories on the site, it would be good to find a picture of it. There is one in a 1964 brochure, but very small, perhaps someone has a photo?
