Whitley Bay Pool was opened in March 1974 and was the second freeform leisure pool in Britain, the first having been opened in Bletchley earlier that year. The building was redeveloped in the 2000s and reopened as Waves Leisure Centre, known simply as Waves, in March 2009. This photograph was published on page 184 of 'Played in Tyne & Wear' by Lynn Pearson.
