In The Swim

While Gisborne beaches are just about the best in the country, it is not always convenient to visit them, or maybe conditions at the beach are not the best even if the weather is hot. The alternative is to provide swimming facilities in the shape of your own pool. And they come in all shapes these days. On these two pages we show some of the very many pools which abide in and around Gisborne. Filtration plants are needed to keep the water pure, and if you are lucky enough to have a gorgeous decoration on the side of the pool, such as that on our front cover, well so much the better.
