This is a commercial film showing a new leisure centre that has been opened in Rotherham.
The film begins showing holidaymakers swimming in a hotel outdoor swimming pool, with a narrator laid out on a sun bed providing a commentary on, presumably, people from Rotherham taking their holidays abroad. There are pedestrians out on the streets of Rotherham city centre, followed by shots of terraced streets, factories, and the two Tinsley cooling towers. The film then moves to a new leisure centre where an attendant is interviewed. The attendant switches on a wave machine. People watch the swimming from a balcony, while some sat at a café are also interviewed, and others are sitting in a pub where they are drinking and smoking. Some of the swimmers are also interviewed and the film comes to an end.
