Hi


A quick question about Forest Hill pools please... If I want to take my baby with me, can I just go for any "General Swim" sessions? I didn't see any specific "Baby swim" sessions...


Also, is the pool warm enough for babies?


If the pool is not very warm, any other pool suggestions would be appreciated!


Thanks xx

I don't know about the small pool but the main pool is not warm enough for babies, I wouldn't think. The baby pool (Learner pool on here http://www5.fusion-lifestyle.com/centres/Forest_Hill_Pools/activity/Swimming) is very popular so worth a try. Also the baby pool at The Bridget Sydenham is shallow and warm, and the one at Beckenham Spa likewise.
We've been swimming in the main pool with our 20 month old son several times. First time was probably when he was just a over a year old. It's not as hot as the baby pool but he's always enjoyed it. There's usually plenty of other families there too when the general swim session is on. Definitely worth a shot.

    • We had lunch here today. It was really good. I had a salad bowl with falafels. You don't have to have chilli and garlic - they ask you when you order. It was a really generous portion, all very fresh, and the excellent salad  came with three very  large and tasty falafels, two stuffed vine leaves, hummus and tahini. Excellent value. I can't remember exactly how much it was, but around £6 to £7. My partner had a wrap, which he said was good too, and a freshly squeezed juice. We ate in, but I took half of mine home to eat later. There were people in front of us, but we didn't have to wait long. They have a loyalty card - free drink the third time you go, free side the sixth time and a free wrap or bowl the tenth time. Highly recommended!
    • No need to wait until next year. They always run a post event feedback meeting. And yes, they were using some new contractors this year because the previous ones were not good enough by their own admission.
    • Sorry for dragging this back on topic, but earlier I had a discussion with Luca the site manager who was also singing the praises of the 'new' waste management team. He invited me on to the ground to the east of the 'parkrun start' path to check out how well they'd done. Within 20 paces I'd picked up (and given to him) 2 cellophane filter tip wrappers, 3 fag butts, a 2" screw, assorted scraps of plastic wrappers....! He awkwardly then said they were still onsite, and sent 1 guy out to litter pick. He also made the statement that it's "an impossible task". I will be over there tomorrow to find, collect and document all the remaining litter, to assist with next year's consultation. I think it's important to pass on that type of information?
    • Hi My friend who’s a local tree surgeon unfortunately had his small Stihl petrol chainsaw stolen last week. As a tree surgeon, this is pretty gutting.    I wondered whether anyone on here might have a spare secondhand one that they don’t use anymore. Or perhaps one that’s been left in a shed or garage gathering dust that isn’t needed. Joe would be delighted and very grateful if we could magic him a replacement soon! 🤩 Thanks so much!  Claire (07946) 728879
