SSPP Trivia
When our school was founded in 1853....
 
. ..families seeking to cool off in hot, humid weather resorted to lakes or rivers and did not have the option of public swimming pools. 

The country's municipal pools were first constructed in the late 1860's to get rowdy, scantily clad youths out of the rivers and lakes and away from the public eye. They also served as large bathtubs for poor and immigrant neighborhoods.
