Swimming

Churchill also enjoyed the rather more leisurely and less risky activity of swimming. He had learnt to swim when he was at ‘prep’ school and at Harrow he represented his house in swimming competitions. He continued to swim – or ‘bathe’ – regularly throughout his life, on holidays in the Bahamas, in the South of France. He even installed an outdoor swimming pool at Chartwell, heated – at vast expense – to combat the less-than-balmy English weather.
