It's certainly not the norm and I must admit to being in awe of Severn Drive School in Walton-le-Dale when I was 7 and finding out they had their own pool!
They can't be cheap to maintain but the number of surrounding schools that used the facilities must more than make up for that. Of all the physical activities we did at school I enjoyed swimming most and got more out of it than freezing my extremities off in the mud playing rugby in January.
