The first heated swimming pool owned by primary school in northeast Essex was opened at West Mersea - and it is all due to local help and parental labour. The headmaster, Mr A. Young, jumped in fully clothed to 'save' Semprini who had opened the pool by going for a swim himself. On Tuesday, some of the pupils had the first dip for the benefit of the photographer.
From Colchester Gazette 14 October 1965 [the pool was opened 13 October 1965 - School Log Book].
