Ron Rolfe 1931 - 2019
It is with great sadness that I let our customers know that my father, Ron Rolfe, who founded Oakleigh Park with my mother Pamela, passed away peacefully on Thursday morning.
In his early years he was introduced to boxing and swimming. A knock on the nose and he realised boxing was not for him!
... He became a member of the Finchley School of Swimming and Lifesaving and was one of the few that received the RLSS Diploma. Going on to meet my Mum at the club, they both took the club on and ran it. They then started the Wood Green Swimming Club and eventually running Church Farm Swimming pool for 30 years as well as Mattison Road pool.
Ron was the Haringey school swimming teacher for many years before fulfilling his dream with my Mum to build their own teaching pool. They wanted to teach small groups in warm water in a pool that was designed for teaching swimming. They put everything they had to achieve this and built one of the first teaching pools in the UK.
In 1975 the Whetstone pool was opened.
From teaching since the 1950's it would be hard to say how many pupils he taught - what I can tell you is it makes us so proud as a family when we see those pupils bring their children to Oakleigh Park.
The passion of swimming my Dad had goes through my family. He truly taught us what a lovely sport and exercise it is. As he said ‚ÄúI am a good advert for swimming‚ÄĚ. He was right, he swam every day and reached the grand age of 87.
We as a family and all in the Oakleigh Park family will miss his words of wisdom, knowledge and wit. I would like to thank you all for your words or support at this time.
One thing we always joked about was when he did pass away what week would he choose - turns out it was badge week! We wish all our swimmers well for their badges this week.
