No - we had a swimming pool in our secondary school
We were not even taught to swim !!!! let alone - doing anything like that
Some kids could swim but I and other non swimmers would just get into the pool and hold the rails and kick our legs a bit or wade around trying to avoid being splashed in the face - till the hour ended - and then always dreaded the cold communal

showersssss
When I was 12 - I luckily taught myself to swim in that pool - I suddenly worked out that
By holding my breath - I could lay face down on top of the water - then gradually do other things - once I knew and felt safe doing that
Before this - on holidays an adult would once in a while place their hand under the tummy to assist staying afloat
but this was not at all helpful as this made you feel like a see saw - tipping back and forth and not removing the fear of it all
What were your childhood outdoor

activities - that you enjoyed most often ??
