Didn't know this existed until today! Thoughts?

TL;DR: A committee for running a women-only swimming pond on public land.

It looked a bit odd, not to say sexist, at first - but then I found this page:

... each of the three swimming ponds has its enthusiastic group of users and we are all united in our determination to keep the men’s, the mixed and the ladies’ as natural and as freely available to swimmers as we possibly can.

Each pond now has its own users association and so anyone who wants to have a say in the matter should join the one that suits them.

Over the last few weeks two new swimming associations have been formed. Following talks with the KLPA, swimmers at the Men’s Pond organized a meeting of swimmers and established a Men’s Pond Association to represent the views of those who use the Men’s Pond. At a time when there will be discussions and proposals about engineering works and possible “refurbishment” of the changing rooms it is essential that the views of the users are clearly established.

A similar development has occurred at the Mixed Pond. A Mixed Pond Swimmers Association has been formed. Both are now represented at the Swimming Forum where the swimmers meet representatives from the City and the officers of the Heath.

So there are three ponds - a mixed one, and one each for men and women. And the women's one has helped set up a committee for the men.

Seems positive.

I think it's great. Nothing at all wrong with it, if there is a subsequent male pond having the same rules, so that it's equal for both.

There's a men's pond and a mixed pond too. The single-sex ponds are much nicer than the mixed pond, I always thought.
