This image was taken for a story that ran in The Manawatu Evening Standard on 8 December, 1959. “The Winchester School which is in use but has not yet been officially opened, now has a swimming pool. The pool, which is 40ft long by 20ft wide and 3ft deep, was constructed on nine Saturdays by a working bee of local residents, the funds having been raised by the school committee, the Parent-Teachers Association, the Mothers’ Club and the children themselves. The photograph shows pupils receiving swimming instruction from a teacher during a class this morning.”
