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:
“Whenever parents become overly invested in a particular skill or accomplishment, a child’s fear of failure multiplies. This is why some children refuse to get into the pool for a swimming lesson, or turn their back on Daddy’s favorite sport.”
—Cathy Rindner Tempelsman (20th century)
“One merit in Carlyle, let the subject be what it may, is the freedom of prospect he allows, the entire absence of cant and dogma. He removes many cartloads of rubbish, and leaves open a broad highway. His writings are all unfenced on the side of the future and the possible. Though he does but inadvertently direct our eyes to the open heavens, nevertheless he lets us wander broadly underneath, and shows them to us reflected in innumerable pools and lakes.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
