A Glasgow directory lists:

Glasgow Swimming Club, St Andrew’s Public Baths, 59 Greendyke Street

Might that be it?

That is a sad story.
It is the same address as the one I posted.

My goodness!
Heywood and Sancti
You found him! 👍💙
Yes this is the pool and this is him. They have his name spelled wrongly though in the article. He was Edward Colgan. Very sad story because his parents had 3 children and all 3 died young.
Thank you so much for this 🙏💙
