Well, there is the ED Swimming Baths on East Dulwich Road - by Goose Green. They do adult repetition lengths that, as memory serves, starts at 8.30pm.


It is a Victorian pool and is somewhat dog eared, but i use it and dont have a problem with it.

I would pop in and have a look - they let me have a look around. You can either pay per swim or join as a member. I pay ?40 per month for the gym and pool. The pool is a community pool so has lots of different users in times slots and they police this strictly. If you look at the Fusion website you can download the timetable.

I used to swim at Crystal Palace; nice 50 meter pool. I haven't been in ages, is it still open?


I've tried the East Dulwich Baths but the pool is too short (less then the standard 25 meters) and if it gets crowded you can't get a proper work out.


And don't get me started on trying to swim around the slow people in the fast lane, uggggg!

Give Tooting Lido a go. 90m of unheated pool to really get the heart racing. Admittedly I wear a wetsuit....

From what I've heard it is meant to be closing completely some time in the Spring for 6-10 months - if anyone is interested there are lots of plans in the foyer. I am a bit worried that it might be a lot longer - apparently a pool in Hackney has just opened - it was planned to open for the Millenium!

JAGS pool most excellent - it is filled with children and families during sat and sunday days...evenings are great for adults. Anyone can join, but, there is usually a waiting list for membership as it is v. popular...The fees include use of gym, classes, tennis, etc. There is a discound available if you have a child at JAGs but it is marginal.

    • The refurb has made it brighter and smarter with greater emphasis on weights and other exercise. Seems that cardio is restricted to the quarter of the floor area as you enter. This seems fair enough as I rarely saw more than half the cardio equipment being used at any one time. I have been told that some cardio will be on the newly created gallery space overlooking the main gym floor. Free weights area looks bigger and there is a good range of resistance machines offering to exercise most muscle groups. There are some new types such as a squat machine, whereas core machines for abs and back seem to have disappeared. I have been told that some machines have yet to arrive. Overall, it’s a great improvement.  To say it’s still a dump is unfair and untrue.  The alternative would be to traipse over to Beckenham where David Lloyd will charge you the same for two months’s membership as you would pay for a year at DLC.
