And the setting sun cast the shadow of my old suit on a turquoise wall … And then a soft immersion in the shady cool.

Margate Lido: Built 1927, closed 1977.
Artist Tracy Emin learnt to swim here. It must have been lovely … A ‘sand lido’ filled with sea water. There were lots of cafes where you could sit out and watch the swimmers and the sea. Apparently it closed because in the 1970s people stopped using it. What a shame for the Lido and for Margate.

Blue Lookout
Binoculars at the seaside … Perfect for watching the boats far out to sea? In ‘Hung Out to Dry’ a recent history of swimming in Britain, the author explains that the popularity of binoculars probably had more to do with the growing popularity of swimming amongst women. Makes perfect sense. Watch out … He’s behind you!
