Book Summary
About the Book: Pool: A dip into outdoor swimming pools: the history, design and
people behind them
A celebration of outdoor swimming-looking at the history, design and social
aspect of pools.
The 1930s architecture of the pools is often sleek and elegant, evoking speed
and efficiency. And the pools themselves are great social levellers-a public
space where everyone is stripped down to a bathing suit.
The book begins with a history of the pools-their grand beginnings after the
buttoned-up Victorian era, their falling popularity in the 20th century, and the
newfound appreciation for the outdoor pool, or lido, and outdoor swimming in the
21st century.
