Ice-Breakers 1/2

This photograph is thought to have been taken in December 1931. The figure on the left is 70-year old H. Palmer and, on the right, R. C. Chadwick, also known as 'Tubby' Chadwick. Both had been members of the South London Swimming Club from shortly after it was founded in 1906. Chadwick is breaking the ice with a kind of fishing-net.
