I was 20 months old my mother would have been 8 months pregnant with my little sister.  As well as this pool I would have had a sandpit too.  It was in a concrete pit that one day had been a goldfish pond.  When we went to live in the house I grew up in Dad decided it wasnt safe and drained it and made it into a sand pit instead.  It was an awesome sand pit about 6 foot by maybe 4 foot with a depth of maybe about 2 or 3 feet in depth.  We had many years of fun playing in it.  At night it had an iron cover made of roofing iron sheets joined together with wood over it.

7 months old already for a swim. Im not sure if these were home made but if they were my father probably made them he was the sewer in our house. He also use to take over completley in the weekends and look after me allowing Mum to have a rest. This was rather unheard of in the early 1970′s.
