It looks a bit run doon noo.
Fond memories (not) of the old pool as when trying to learn to swim the instructor made me wear a rubber ring
around my waist and splash about in the end where young weans were swimming like Olympians - all these years later I swim like an R. and D. brick. After it was closed for years I think it was demolished in 2014.
I remember a very high diving board and the over powering smell of chlorine. The diving board might just have seemed so high as I was young at the time though.
Interesting pics of Dumfries but strangely fewer pedestrians than we have now!
Not the way forward to let cars into town during the day, - as that just looks chaotic, - but would like to see vehicles able to access from 5pm to 10 pm to boost the evening economy.
It was a busy pool right enough.
