Verrucas Optional

Sara Wheeler sings the praises of the indoor municipal pool and explains why she, for one, prefers to do her lengths between four walls.

'I object to the demotion of the noble art of indoor swimming,' writes Sara Wheeler, 'in the current frenzy to leap into the nearest river.'

Sara explains why she has little time for the new fad of wild swimming and sings the praises of those gorgeous pools that sprang up around the UK from the nineteenth century.
