Story

Summary
British Pathe synopsis: A title informs us that Coventry has the "largest married Ladies Swimming Section in Britain". Doors to changing cubicles open and a large number of women dressed in matching swimsuits and hats emerge on to the pool side. The women line up on a stand by the side of the outdoor pool. They wave to the camera. They dive in, swim and fool around in the water. Some of the women practice their "life saving" technique. Intertitle reads: "All married ladies and able to hold their own anywhere!"
