Thousands learned to swim there, it hosted scores of galas by the town's two swimming clubs, plus schools and youth groups, and there were sessions for expectant mums, sub-aqua club events, fun sessions, disabled swimming club meetings ... and much more. The Ryndle Crescent pool opened on 8 January 1973; its facilities replaced now by the sports village. Scarborough Council has the building earmarked for demolition. Enjoy these photos of the good times there ...
