Hundred Years of Making a Splash - article in East Grinstead Observer 2nd Feb 2012 IN 1911 a small public swimming pool was built in Brooklands Park, between Brooklands Way and West Hill. It was filled with spring water, with no changing rooms and no mixed bathing allowed. A swimming group called the East Grinstead Water Rats had existed as far back as 1898. The men are pictured here in their baggy woollen costumes.
