What a fantastic pool, great for parking with no parking costs. There is plenty of seating area and even decking to lay out on. Some swimming implements are available and there is a facility where recycled wet suits, children and adults, can be purchased. Season membership is available saving money and there are swimming lessons available at a small cost for children and adults. There's a snack hut selling tea/coffee in proper mugs for just a £1 and also some sweets/crisps/cake etc. The staff are lovely and of course, and they work voluntary. What a shame that Peter B was so negative given the fact these people work so hard so that we can enjoy the pool and they aren't even paid for their trouble!

One unusual challenge was diving for plates where 24 plates were placed at the bottom of the pool with the object of retrieving the most plates in a given time. The winner was recorded as Heaton- Smith with twenty plates and W. Fitzpatrick as second with nineteen. Bad weather, War and Concrete, 1939 The Annual General Meeting reported that 1, 110 tickets had been issued which was below average, but the season had bad weather and the war crisis in September had contributed to this shortfall. Swimming Tests, 1941 In swimming tests given by the County organiser of physical culture on August 25th, all entrants from Chagford Junior School were successful. Sheila Elstone, John Hill and Mary Yardley passed the proficiency test, and Barbara Aplin, Marjorie Denham, Jean Endacott and Jean Lyddon passed the beginners test. A contract sum of £59 10s for concreting half of the bottom of the pool (the shallow end) from Charles Stone and Sons had been accepted. The deep end would remain a mud bottom until the 1960's.
Something went wrong, but don't fret — let's give it another shot.
