Where have all the swimmers gone?

People born too late to be children in the fifties often don't have a clue about how we passed the time.



No TV -- not down our way, anyhow -- and no Walkmans, let alone iPods. No rollerblades or skateboards. No big concert gigs. And that was just for us young people.

But the recent situation where a traditional swimming area has been made inaccessible prompted some memories of my own swimming childhood in and around Kilcullen.
