In the years up to 1965, the only indoor facilities for swimming were at the Command Baths, the military pool in Aldershot. In the summer, children from schools in the Fleet area went to the open-air pool at Fleet Country Club for lessons. This, however, was only for the hardy souls and, of these, most were capable of only a few strokes by the end of the summer term – not sufficient to ensure their safety in water. Leslie and Hilary Wigg realised that there was a need for a local indoor pool for serious swimming and that its running costs could be met by charging for lessons.
