THE CHRISTCHURCH CENTENNIAL SWIMMING BATHS.—A photograph taken yesterday looking toward the deep end of the water-filled baths, now nearing completion. Built to Olympic standards, the pool is 55 yards long. At the shallow end the depth of water is only 3ft 6in, but immediately below the top level of the high-diving tower there is a depth of 14ft. When the tepid water heating is in operation 478,000 gallons will enter the baths in four hours and a half from a deep trench in the middle lane.
