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:
“Mead had studied for the ministry, but had lost his faith and took great delight in blasphemy. Capt. Charles H. Frady, pioneer missionary, held a meeting here and brought Mead back into the fold. He then became so devout that, one Sunday, when he happened upon a swimming party, he shot at the people in the river, and threatened to kill anyone he again caught desecrating the Sabbath.”
—For the State of Nebraska, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“There will be better days when I am gone
And healing pools where I cannot be healed.
Fragrant stars will gleam forever and ever
Above the place where I lie desolate.”
—Arna Bontemps (1902–1973)
