Total number of persons using baths in 1954 48,109 Average number per day 323 Maximum number using baths on one day 2,193 The overall total attendance figure at the swimming baths shows a consider able increase over the comparable figure for 1953. The very marked increase in the use of the indoor bath at Brentford is likely to be due to the fact that the summer of 1954 was cool with considerable rainfall. The purification of the water of these pools is by intermittent chlorina tion and the amount of free chloride aimed at is 0.6 parts per million. Water samples are taken daily throughout the season. -11-
