Well Ed your memory is better than mine, I too swam in the tank and the Dodder,but I must admit my memory of it is very dim, it made a change from the Herbiton, The Barn and The Griffith. We also swam in the Baths Iveagh and Tara Street, then of course there where the Sea sides, Seapoint, Bray and Portmarnock, to mention a few, I often wonder how we did so much swimming when you consider the the summer weather there.
