In 1964 I swam in the pool there what a wonderful place. I was taken there by Abdel Latif Abou Heif, Shazily and Mohamed Ali, not the boxer.
Wow, we could have met (I was a member there from 1960 to 1989. In '64 I was still in University so I would have been swimming there almost daily). Abou Heif was, as you know, Egypt's loooooooooooooong distance champ swimmer. Shazly rings a bell (tho' I can't think of the full name) and the last name, just does not (ring any bells, in this context).
Were you already into Long Distance and OW in '64? That's the company you kept (Abou Heif, etc.....) Did you swim in the 50m pool or did they take you to the Lido pool (the terrace and 33 1/3 yards pool) where the main activity was sitting, chatting, watching the girls go by and enjoying Stella (the beer)?
