Well we have certainly noticed an increase in 'petting' in pools since this poster was updated!

"The iconic “will patrons kindly refrain from” poster is etched on the memories of generations of swimmers, listing a multitude of offences which the all-powerful lifeguards would clamp down on with a piercing whistle and a pointed finger.

After repeated requests from the public, ISRM is making this vintage poster available for purchase for the first time in almost 20 years. This special edition of the poster is printed A2 (42 x 60 cm) in size on high quality art paper and finished with a gloss UV varnish for added effect.

Priced at just £9.50 inclusive of VAT (+ £3 P&P), this is an opportunity to own a classic symbol of an era which has long passed."

"Liquid Sculpture is the process of creating shapes by dropping and splashing water, or other liquids. These sculptures are then photographed, since they last only a few thousandths of a second. Creating and capturing these engaging forms requires careful manipulation of the materials and precise control of the lighting and timing."
