The Harbour Baths

I learned to swim in salt water. Lessons were held every Saturday morning at the large public baths at the head of one arm of the harbour. The walk down was steep, from Bonds Corner it was just street after street of steep. I was able to see all the different folk of the region deciding how they were going cope with jellyfish, small fish and elegant little sharks. I was never brave enough to dive of the board on the deep harbour side, not even at high tide.
