Greath Lengths: The Swimming Pools of Britain

Gorden, doctor to the Great Britain swimming team since 1993, and Inglis, who is best known for his books about football grounds and stadium architecture, survey indoor pools in chronological chapters from the middle 19th century to the present. Contemporary and often modern photographs of pools, buildings, swimmers, and other facets provide illustration, along with reproductions of posters, advertisements, warning signs, and so on. The text describes not only the physical place and the clientele, but also the social and political context and scientific thinking at the time about exercise, sanitation, disease, and such matters.
