Back in the day when we were weans learning how to swim, there was nothing better than when the inflatables were brought out at our local baths.
The palpable excitement of hearing the machines being switched on to fill the inflatables up with air was enough to make us do a wee jig in the shallow end.
But while such memories are precious beyond measure, it's always brilliant to stumble upon a bit of retro footage showing such scenes in action.

One video, filmed on April 29, 1993 at Glasgow's long lost Whiteinch public baths, captures exactly what we're looking for.
The three-minute clip, which has been uploaded to YouTube by site user David Heppell, shows schoolkids practising their front crawls and breast strokes before ending their swimming session at the sadly vanished pool with a flourish on the inflatables.
If this doesn't stir up fond, chlorine-scented memories of wrinkly fingers, rubber wristbands and pulling off underwater body flips, we don't know what will. The fact it was filmed at Whiteinch is extra special too.

The Whiteinch Public Baths opened in 1926 and was originally a large complex with two swimming pools, including additional baths for men and women, Turkish baths and a wash house.
Generations of locals learned and loved to swim here at the Medwyn Street facility and were gutted when it had to close in the 1990s - not too long after this video was filmed.

The Whiteinch baths site remained vacant until 2008 when much of the building save for the frontage was demolished and converted into housing.
