Swimming Pools
All of the clubs swim in pools in the London region and some swim at Crystal Palace National Sports Centre and Gurnell Leisure Centre which have the only 50m pools in London. It is hoped by many clubs that they will be able to swim in the 50m pools being built at the Aquatics Centre in Stratford for the London 2012 Olympics

Famous quotes containing the words swimming and/or pools:
“Awareness of having better things to do with their lives is the secret to immunizing our children against false values—whether presented on television or in “real life.” The child who finds fulfillment in music or reading or cooking or swimming or writing or drawing is not as easily convinced that he needs recognition or power or some “high” to feel worthwhile.”
—Polly Berrien Berends (20th century)
“The eastern light our spires touch at morning,
The light that slants upon our western doors at evening,
The twilight over stagnant pools at batflight,
Moon light and star light, owl and moth light,
Glow-worm glowlight on a grassblade.
O Light Invisible, we worship Thee!”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
