A major attraction was created by the building of the bathing pool, which opened on 12 March 1895. It was built by the Jersey Swimming Club at a cost of £3,106 12s 9d. Initially there was a circular granite wall to hold water between high and low tides in a pool for the exclusive use of ladies. Men were restricted to bathing off the rocks and diving stages to the west of the pool, but there were plans to build a separate pool for them. Progressively the ladies pool was developed with changing rooms and a promenade and men were allowed to use the facilities on their own at certain times. In 1904 mixed bathing was permitted between the hours of 9 o'clock and 10.30 in the morning. The pool grew in popularity and was further developed in the 1920s. In its heyday it was a centre of island social life, as well as a base for the island's top swimmers and divers. It was modernisewd in 1925 with the addition of the Blue Terrace, and a pavilion was added two years later to host dances and other social events.
