Indeed this from the Station newsletter ...
Overall an amazing achievement for a base without its own swimming pool and very limited access to swimming facilities in the local area. RAF Marham has never finished so high, with the Ladies retaining the swimming trophy yet again. The standard of competition across all three disciplines was extremely high from all stations (most with RAF Swimmers), and it is a true testament to everyone’s hard work over the last few months, determination to succeed, and willingness to drive a 40 minute return journey to train throughout the week.

Even my kids school had a decent swimming pool. I do not know what the Royal Air Force has come to if it can no longer provide such basic recreational facilities.
