Warrender Park Swimming Baths
Description
The interior of Warrender Park Swimming Baths, Edinburgh. The swimming pool is covered with a pitched roof with wooden supporting beams and glass panels. A large arched window lets light into the building and reflects beautifully in the pool. Men and boys stand around the pool's edge mostly wearing swimming trunks. Several are posing on the equipment that can be seen such as the diving board, gymnastic rings and a trapeze.
