BRINGING THIS SCHOOL POOL BACK TO LIFE!!!

  • Опубліковано 17 чер 2022
  • So mrs Feakes at Thurlow school emailed to see if I could help sort their pool out which hadn’t been used since before covid!
    Due to no funding they couldn’t afford to pay for the job to be done! I did mange to find a sponsor as I do think it is important for kids to learn swimming as early as they can! Unfortunately the sponsor pulled out 3 weeks before we started the job. I really didn’t want to let the school down so took it on the chin and proceeded with the job.
    It’s now all done and the kids can carry on learning to swim which is great!
    Hope you like the video, please like, sub and share!
    Thanks

    This brings back some memories. Decades ago, in the height of my fishkeeping hobby, I had ten freshwater aquariums at home and probably 400 fish. I had studied the hobby for years, collected 20 or so books, etc. I was really into it and my co-workers knew all about it.
    One of my co-workers had been renting a room in a house and the pool hadn't been maintained in years and was a bright emerald green. She told me the landlady was going to finally have the pool cleaned, so now was my chance.
    I arrived with a net and some plastic bags and rubber bands and I left with probably 200 live mosquito larvae.
    I fed these to my fish and they loved it so much that it inspired them to breed the next day. I gave the leftover larvae to the pet store who had helped my hobby grow.
    Good times.

    I agree with the kids…the pool guys rock 😁
    I saw the short you made of the transformation and commented that I’m glad you followed through when others bailed.
    You kept your word and I always pray that good things will come to you and yours and crew in the future.
    The ribbon cutting ceremony near the end was precious. Their appreciation was genuine ❤️

    Fabulous job lads … I was lucky 52 years ago to go to a school with a indoor pool at Shelthorpe juniors and infants school, even private schools in the area didn’t have pools ….. I still love swimming it’s the best thing I ever learnt.
    Take care x
