Solar heated swimming pool? That's not exactly environmentally friendly when you consider the energy cost of the infrastructure, which they could have left out completely. The swimming pool at my primary school was heated directly by the sun, and of course the children inside it.
@Woodroffski I guess heating it means that it can be used for more of the year, maybe saving building another pool somewhere else? In that case solar's a good way of heating, and the relatively low water temperature of the pool will make the solar collectors more efficient than average. But maybe the children just need to toughen up and cope with colder water! ;-)
Great work ... I heard about your school via my parents who live in Colyton. We live in New Zealand and our kids (6, 5 and 3yrs) have been doing a project at school about energy.
