History

The club was originally founded in 1923 by Messr's Cadbury Bros Ltd and initially used the lake in Rowheath park.

The pool we see today opened in July 1933 and was the result of the Cadbury family carrying out an experiment in practical philanthropy by using Cadbury workers who were displaced during the installation of new automated equipment in the factory and unemployed people from the local area to construct the pool.

The pool was refurbished in 2022 by Birmingham city council.,
