EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the late 1880s, we are transported back in time to witness a group of swimmers at the GWR Medical Fund Society swimming baths, nestled within the iconic Swindon Works. The image exudes an air of Victorian elegance and showcases a moment frozen in history. The swimmers, dressed modestly in traditional swimwear of the era, gracefully glide through the water with synchronized strokes. Their movements appear effortless yet purposeful, reflecting their dedication to maintaining good health and well-being. It is evident that these individuals are partaking in more than just a leisurely activity; they are actively embracing the benefits of physical exercise as advocated by the GWR Medical Fund Society. The atmosphere surrounding this scene is one of camaraderie and community spirit. As onlookers observe from poolside benches or lean against ornate railings, conversations flow freely amidst laughter and encouragement. The architecture surrounding them reflects both grandeur and functionality - an amalgamation of Victorian aesthetics blended seamlessly with practicality. This print serves as a poignant reminder not only of our rich industrial heritage but also highlights how forward-thinking institutions like the GWR Medical Fund Society played a crucial role in promoting employee welfare during that era. It invites us to reflect upon our own commitment to personal well-being while appreciating those who paved the way for such initiatives over a century ago
