Some 30 years on in the 60's my friend Mark McCall and I amused ourselves by running thro this and similar paddling pools - without any of this informal shoes-off business. If you were quick enough (and daft enough to try) you could just about sprint from one side to the other without getting your shoes, socks or feet soaked. Probably wouldn't bother these days.
