Dungarvan Observer 5 June 1943
A Swimming Club.
The closing of Stokes’ Baths is surely the “coup-de-grace” and the old
Borough must retire from the ring of bathing resorts. So thought the pessimists. Dungarvan, however, does not take it lying
down and, thanks to a quick recovery we are again on the map and can boast of a
swimming pool second to none. To mark
the occasion of its completion a number of persons interested in aquatics held
a meeting in the courthouse…on Saturday, 29th May last, and it was
unanimously decided to form a swimming club.
There is evidence of much local enthusiasm for such a project and the
time is opportune for the promotion of swimming galas and other events during
the coming summer months. The promoters
are anxious that there should be widespread interest and it has been decided to
call another meeting….on 5th June.
