TEPID BATHS.
NEW PLYMOUTH’S NEED. “Miss Annette Kellerman suggested that our war-cry should be ‘tepid baths,’ and we think the time is at hand when the Borough Council should be prevailed upon to seriously consider the advisability of making the baths tepid. Not only would they increase their revenue, (but would popularise swimming and life-saving, and that alone would be doing a great service.” Thus ran a passage in the annual report of the New Plymouth Swimming Club, which met last night. When the matter came up for discussion later in the evening those present expressed themselves as strongly in favor of the scheme. The chairman (Mr. F. J. Eggleton) felt sure that swimming would go ahead by leaps and bounds if swimmers could get practice in all the year round, as they could with tepid baths. A circular recently received from the Wellington Amateur Swimming Association showed that the demand for tepid baths was fast becoming a Dominion-wide matter.
A resolution waa carried urging the Borough Council to go ahead with the establishment of tepid baths.
